Rolled (Margin): IWM December 17th 207 Short Put to 232
... for a 2.52 credit.
Comments: This is the short put aspect of a short strangle that I rolled up to reduce directional delta in the setup. The oppositional side -- the December 17th 242 short call, has a delta of around -52, so I rolled the short put up to the +25 delta strike to cut net delta of the short strangle in half or so.
The original short strangle was filled for 3.09 (See Post Below), and I had a take profit target of 50% of that or 1.55. Since I've collected an additional 2.52 in credit with this roll, I'm revising the take profit to 1.55 + 2.52 or 4.07.
