Sample Portfolio Update - Putting April Positions On
February 19th, 2019

Hi steemit community,

implied volatility is staying low, but I gotta put new positions on to collect some theta.
In order to not get wiped out by a vol expansion, I'm cutting my trade size in half.

## TLT April Straddle

I sold this straddle for a credit of **$3.33**.
Like always, my profit target is the 16 delta strangle credit (**69 cents**).
So I'm going to close this position, when it trades for **$2.64** or at **21 DTE**.
