Despite today's gains, and after closing at 9130 points, the monthly gains in the index is just 52 points more (or + 0,57%) than the previous month.

As this value is above the strike price of the sold option (which was 9000) I get to keep all the credit initially received (+ 146,35 €).

Considering this, since its inception, the Put Write Strategy is at -1,6%.

Closed: ODAX February 2019 Call Spread

Summary

Yesterday I closed the ODAX 11350 - 11400 Debit Put Spread, which was opened before Christmas in order to protect the former Call Spread deployed for January against a market rebound.

This trade worked fine in its original task and I was aiming to make more profit if the market kept rising. However, with only nine days left, I chose to close it near break even.
