Kevin--thanks for the numbers. I've got too much work for the rest of this week to nurse any trades. I'll finish up my deadlines this week, go to Florida for a long weekend, then I'll be back in the saddle Tuesday. It would be nice if the market stayed undecided until then. I notice your numbers don't have much range today--due to lack of volatility yesterday. Does the relative range factor have any bearing on the size of your positions or the way you play them? Or do you just follow the system exactly the same? Closed my SPX puts yesterday for a net loss of 6.75. Followed my plan to cut and run from ABF and ACCC positions (long puts) if they didn't move quickly--no damage there. Still holding near-worthless INTC and CPQ positions for Nov. EGRP Nov calls slightly in the red, and should be closed soon. Still hoping the JBIL Dec calls will recover. -- Brad
