4/13/2008 NEW Trade: (Filled 4/14/2008) This May DIA 111/113 - 136/138  Iron Condor currently has a bid/ask of .11. My limit amount for this order will be .15 cents. The return for this trade is 8.1% as follows:

  • Margin Required for each contract of this trade = $200 - $15= $185
  • Return - Total Credit / Margin Required = $15 / $185 = 8.1%
  • We will exit either side of this trade if the DIA rises to 133, or drops to 116, which is 3 points away.
