IE/IWM -- Income for Week 9

In addition to doing a buy/write to generate week 9 income, there was also a $0.02 limit order triggered:

Date Group Description Result Total Shares Price Comm Fees Week Income Week2
2014-04-30 F STO 4 IWM 5/9 2014 $110 Call Open $668.89 4 $1.71 $14.95 $0.16 9 $668.89 --
2014-04-30 F Buy 400 Shares IWM Open -$44,060.95 400 $110.13 $8.95 $0.00 7 -- 8
2014-04-28 A BTC 8 IWM 5/9 2014 $119 Call -- -$21.23 8 $0.02 $4.95 $0.28 2 -$21.23 --
2014-03-18 A Buy 800 Shares IWM Open -$95,520.95 800 $119.39 $8.95 $0.00 1 -- 8

So now I have 800 shares, cost basis $119, that I need to sell calls on. Currently, that would mean going out to the 2014-07-09 expiration date. Since the calls on another 1000 shares are near the $0.02 limit order, I'm going to wait a bit before selling new calls.

I should note that I tried something different for today's orders. I've toyed with a 2-day RSI in the past. I used them to place contingent orders for today. The above buy/write was one of those contingent orders. That order was written as:

-- If the price of IWM drops below $110.17,
-- Then do a buy/write of 400 shares of IWM and four 5/9 2014 $110 calls for a net of $108.60.

I ended up with a net of $108.42 (before transaction costs), so that worked out. I used the 2-day RSI value of 10 to find the trigger price. This is what my workbook had:

Next Intraday Price Next 2-Day RSI Description
$110.18 10.0000 <=== Buy Target Price
$115.17 90.0000 <=== Sell Target Price

I also have a contingent order for selling the calls for the 800 share of IWM that were bought at $119. It says:

-- If the price of IWM rises above $115,
-- Then sell eight 5/17 2014 $119 calls with a limit price of $0.85

My limit prices were set based on how the data looked at yesterday's closing prices.
