<< Hi Ben,
 
 Trying to get a feel for your option strategy by watching in real time
 .. with SP at (rounding everything) 1425, Feb 1400 put at 15 and Mar
 1525 call at 5 which would require a ratio of roughly 3 March calls to
 cover cost of each February put. I believe you mentioned watching the 55
 day ema which is just a couple of points above 1425. I'm watching last
 sale prices on the options rather than calling the pit for live b/a but
 the prices should be close enough. Assuming you were looking to enter
 long, what would you be adjusting or would you write 3:1? Mar 1500 call
 is 8 and 1475 call is 12-14.
 
 Thank you. >>
