<< Thanks much for sharing, I've done similar things on TBonds but without 
buying
 back the aisles systematically... Got a few questions:
 1 - Did you study the 10 point spreads as well or for what reason did you
 consider the 5 point spreads to be best?
 2 - At what time of the month do you put these on? at expiry, a day befor or
 after, or at months beginning?
 3 - Do you ever move these or do you ALWAYS let them go to maturity?
 
 Thanks very much again,

hi
risk reward does not   reward enough  on a 10 point spread
I always do it on expiration day
I let them expire worthless on expiration
BUT  i watch it daily on my fax report from the  broker
if i am at a loss of  2000 for  each 10  calls and puts i  close the position
at a loss
I lose  3 times a year  and win  9 month a year
