I think I'm going to sell one of the 1110 options tomorrow. We are up $2300 on the futures but down on the options. I think I may sell both options then reposition with buying another put closer to the money

Sold both options yesterday for 32. I'm going to keep my futures position we are up close to $2000 and I'm going to buy two April put options at 1140 looking for a price around 40....the price would have to drop to about 1135 to get filled. Filled at both on 40
Right now we are down about $2400.

Getting out of this trade. I will lower it a good bit on both positions. We may get stopped on both. Going to lower my stops on both the options and the future position. I'm up $4380 on the options and down $3200 on the futures contract....we still kept the future positions.
We are up a total of $1180 but down $2400 from the previous option positions. We are down a total of $1220

I got stopped on the futures not on the options...options are at $7100 $14200 for both. Up $6200 on the options. I got stopped out $3000 loss on the futures. I had a previous loss from the options position of $2400.
We made a total profit of $800. I'm going to lower my stop real tight on the options position...basically lock in all the profit. The market will go lower but will bounce back a bit.
