I’m attempting to exit two positions today, both of them short iron condors expiring May 17.

CELG, c+105 c-97.5 p-75 p+70, call delta 20 (82%) put delta 15 (91%), IVR 62, RR 4.3:1, entered 3/26/2019 credit $1.19. I’m attempting to exit for a $0.59 debit, which is 50% of maximum potential profit.

XRT,  c+52 c-49 p-42 p+39, call delta 18 (82%) put delta 18 (80%), IVR 37%, RR 4.5:1, entered 3/5/2019 credit $0.55. I’m attempting to exit for a $0.27 debit, which is 51% of maximum potential profit.
