Trading calendar
By my rules for shorter-term trades of Monthly options, I'm trading May options and later for the short legs of vertical, diagonal and calendar spreads and covered calls, and for all legs of butterfly spreads and iron condors. I'm trading August options and later for single calls and puts as well as straddles. Shares and Weekly options, of course, are good at any time.
Good trading.
