Trading custom positions - Do you?

[lloydbee]

I currently have a custom position (initial entry 11th August) on $GOOGL and have made one adjustment on the 3rd Sep. The risk graphs are just gold to me and reinforce the reason why I do such trades...
- Had it just been a single sided Vertical I would be looking at a max profit of +6.5% ROI.
- If it was a typical IC it would be returning a max profit of +13% ROI.
- My current custom position is already just breaking the +79% ROI although technically after my adjustment the true % ROI drops because the trade reserved extra in margin, adjusted ROI now at +38%.

The position is so ridiculous now, being just 2 weeks away from expiration that the chance of losing money would require GOOGL to move +6% to the upside and -13% to the downside before I see a loss which a loss wont happen if these levels were slowly reached due to profit already taken pre-adjustment and also some remaining position within this zone.

If you are an options trader, think outside the box and don't hesitate to experiment (in a Virtual account first) as the rewards can offer safety and consistency with the advantage of some nice profits.
