Agreed. I wish others would also understand the crux of my point. It's not the liquidation itself (as noted in my OP) but the lack of...
What am I hiding from? I expected to be assigned and exercised in the worst case scenario. In a better scenario, I close the spread for anything...
I didn't close earlier in the day because both sides were ITM with AMZN trading >$967 most of the day and was away from my computer. I was...
Appears to be simultaneous separate legs. [ATTACH]
I understand using a market order for products with undefined risk. But one would have hoped their algorithms would be sophisticated enough to...
I was filled 5 minutes prior to close. From a customer service perspective, it would have been reasonable to start with an offer of $30.00 and...
Going into the close this afternoon, I was short a May 930/960 call spread in AMZN. When I logged in near the close to close the position, I...

This up move is now over--because I just turned long. I legged into a Feb17 2340/2350 call spread this morning and will continue doing this...
It's definitely tough. You can look out for calendar opportunities but even those are tough on index products given term structure. Skew is still...

I would just close this position if you haven't already.
