SPX calls closed
#SPXcampaign In pre-market, bought to close Apr 29th 2125/2150 call spreads for .40. Sold for 1.35 on March 28th. Put on the close order yesterday as an attempt to exit before Fed… didn’t fill during the day. I wish I’d remembered to take the order off when I saw futures were down before bed (or at least lowered to .20). But, I’ll take the winner anyway.
