Straddle? Either you are long or you are short.

I hesitated and got the bad word from the pit; the floor trader said "if I had only called 20 seconds earlier"....yeah, well.

I reversed and got a poor fill. Short at 66.20 for a loss on the long of 290.

I guess I should have gone and played gin or golf or something...

Actually, I should have taken my own sell signal earlier.
