CLOSE: FMCN Short Straddle +18.7%

Yesterday, I opened this just before market close with a credit of $5.75.

Today, I decided to close it out to not risk anything by holding out and getting assigned since I had the March call & put and today is expiration day. Today was a nasty day in the market so I wanted to mitigate loss as much as possible in my portfolio!

I got out for a debit of $3.25.

(5.75-3.25)Net Profit/(5.75 credit + 7.58 margin)Risk =18.7% ROI in 1 day
