Mar 13th Model Portfolio (Limit Orders for Tue, Revised):

This portfolio will be updated each night. Less than 10 trades a month are expected. Limit Order adjustments will be noted one trading day in advance. Completed trades at bottom of page.

The SPY Apr 130 puts opened at 2.40 and the buy order was set at 2.50. However, volume wasn't large. So, the execution price will be adjusted to 2.45. A new buy order is set and should be executed if SPY rises above 129 1/4. The first sell order should be sold below 128 1/2, the second sell order above 128, and the third below 127 3/4. If SPX futures are very high or very low, order adjustments may be made before the open, which will be noted.
