Dave,

Right, the entry is the key... once the market move away from your entry area(s), it's pretty much a free ride into expiration..... BTW, nice grub on post #1300...<g>

Great discussion on the one-sided covered short straddle strategy.

One difference between doing this on futures vs. equities is that futures have a time premium. With futures, the short straddle premiums need to make up for the futures premium. With equities, all the straddle premium goes into your pocket.
