Long 1 APA Jul 125 Call
[/private_monthly]
Adjustment: With the Mar 125 call we sold for $1.25 expiring worthless, we've lowered our cost basis in this trade down to $8.24 per contract after we factor in the protective put we previous employed + commissions. We're now looking to sell a 130 strike April call against our position. If you didn't get in on this trade when we originally put it on, this is a decent place to enter. This modification turns this trade back into a diagonal call spread.
