buy back all 5 puts at $0.71 

Why did I place this trade?

  • take profits (37% of max profit in ONE day)
  • remove the risk (of assignment)
  • free up the capital


PROFIT:  $225 (in ONE day)


Comments:

Don't be afraid to sell put options on a "down" day (especially if the stochastics are in the oversold region).

Buy back your short puts quickly when there's a big "up" day.
