Good morning Nolerman. I tried your strategy with chtp and you are correct both my puts and calls of the strangle are up by 20-30%. And I could just sell them and close the trade with a profit. The only thing I realized ( and correct me if I am wrong ) is that you need to keep on exponentially adding to the one side of the leg ie 2,4,16,32 to average it down. I hope the above makes sense. Once again thanks.
