Trade active:

Tried to cover the short call side today for a .05 db, but the long call is no "no bid," so will look to close out just the short call and let the long expire worthless. Will look at what can be done with the short put side next week with 4 DTE or so.

Trade active:

Covered just the short call today for a .03 db; the long remains no bid and will be allowed to expire worthless.

Trade closed manually:

With 4 DTE, covering the short put aspect of this setup for a 1.13 db, resulting in a small loser. .99 - 1.13 - .03 = .17 ($17).
