I guess it&#8217;s not a bad result. It&#8217;s just frustrating as I had made some headway with the Aug 24 crash that drew me down and the protector is doing awful during the last few weeks. <\/p>\n<p>I think I have to move to farther out M3s and close &#8217;em before 21 DTE as I&#8217;ve mentioned before. <\/p>\n<p>As for what we can hope for re the Oct trades, well, managed well, we can close them at target but it&#8217;ll take some market cooperation. It was a pretty bad day but I adjusted well I think. However, I do have some upside gamma trend issues if a bounce is >2% which I need to fix tomorrow.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The October M3s got crushed today.
