Don't Be greedy - Take a profit or at least sell a portion of your position to recoup your basis -
The formula is sell enough to pay for your basis even if the remainder get hammered to 1/2 of current price...Usually that is less than 1/2 of your position leaving a greater Percentage for profit..

Edit
Purchase: 10 OEX @ $6.00 = 6000
Sell: 4 Contracts @ $9.00 = 3600.00
Remaining: 6 contracts or $2400.00 basis
Means it could Zoom south & to preserve your basis you could take as little as $4.00
