Expert-Level Options for Sophisticated Traders
Issues
We are finally through March expiration and volatility continues to remain at low levels. Volatility is starting to perk up a little, but the VIX still sits below 15, at 14.41. Until we see a sustained push towards the 18 handle, we should expect to see market complacency rule the day. A return to more normal levels of volatility (18 to 22) would allow us to expand our positions. Until then, we patiently wait for Mr. Market, and more importantly, probabilities, to lead the way.

I’m going to hold on to my March SPY iron condor and will close towards the end of the trading session tomorrow or Friday depending on the price action over the next two days. When I do close, I only plan on closing the bear call side and will allow the bull put side to expire worthless.
