... for a 3.66 credit.
Metrics:
Max Profit: $366
Max Loss: Undefined
Buying Power Effect: 14.95
Credit Received/BPE: 24.5%
Delta/Theta: .44/3.97
Notes: Going out to the first expiry in which the at-the-money short straddle is paying greater than 10% of the stock price. Doing the basic delta under hedge drill on this one: delta under hedging at intervals to maintain net delta < theta, if possible, allowing theta to work its magic.

Closing here for 6.07, a .81 ($81)/contract winner with 42 DTE. This thing has been all over the place, so I'm glad to free up the buying power to get into a re-centered setup or get into something else.
