That was a nice move for all the Theta positive trades - most of them were hanging short deltas and could use a downward move.
For the butterfly I closed the extra 500 call - leaving the rest of the trade intact. By the time I decide that I did not need those deltas any longer most of the value had run out. I closed the 500 call for a $80 profit per one lot.
Below you see both the butterflies. The last fly still holds the profits - the first fly is currently break even. If break tomorrow, today's low then I will a bit more aggressive maintaining negative delta's - by closing the 440 - 490 spread.
Remember in the weekend we had a worry about the upside of the trade - now the 1SD till May 8th is outside the lower break - evens; how ironic.
