LESSONS:
On 4/2/2014 (see chart), IWM was "overbought" again.  If I had closed my position that day ($1.94 credit), my gross profit would have been $329 in just SIX days!!  But no....I waited instead.... and IWM took a dive.  So, the LESSON is:  TAKE YOUR PROFITS!!! (especially if you're trading long options)
