I placed this credit spread with FB trading at $152.20 and I was expecting it to continue to move down. I was shooting for a 30% gain. The next day FB had moved up to $153.45, not the move I expected. I started working on getting out of the trade.
On 5/3 FB moved down to $151.39 and I was able to get out without losing anything. Even managed to walk away with a small $50.00 profit. Not as good as the $1,400.00 credit I started out with, but beats losing.
