I think the newsletter is great. The combination of theory and practice.

I would have liked a hint on how you manage the two trades. Do you have a fixed take profit? When do you exit the trade if the trade goes against you?

I could read this newsletter every day, but I don't want to keep you from the development of the indicators.

A list of all the trades presented would certainly be exciting too. That creates trust when the results are positive. And motivates new interested parties to take an interest in options.

How would I handle this?

For now, I wouldn't. All the short legs are still ATM, and they have theta value, so they are still contributing to the strategy. Different timeframes require different management approaches.

Current position status:

The combination's delta is still positive (1.24), meaning the strategy has directional exposure.

If the price moves higher: I would realize a small loss, roll the position up, or potentially transform it into a double formation.

If we stay at this price level or move slightly lower: that would be favorable for the strategy.

Timeframe and attention:

There are still 9 days left, so there’s time to decide.

It's important to monitor closely because if the price moves away from the short legs to the upside, action will definitely be required:

The profit curve could start to drop significantly, even if the simulation currently suggests otherwise.

For now, the plan is to wait and observe, but active management will be necessary at the right moment.
