Analysis
TWTR closed up the day +1.48pts (close - open). This is a relatively large move again and I will be adjusting the hedges tomorow morning to capture this move upwards.
TWTR closing price today is at 29.83
I will be willing to spend up to 0.37/c to pay for the new hedges. Also, on the previous move, I only spent about 0.09/c for the hedge, when I had up to 0.30/c to spend. In total, I can spend about 0.59/c by sticking to the 25% rule of paying for the cost of the hedge.
Let look at some possible options

+2 Nov 15' 29.5 Put @ 2.45
Net Debit: +0.27
Total cost of new hedges: 0.60/c
By increasing the roll of the short call to the 30 strike and paying a little more I can get a higher profit potential. I am willing to pay a little more aggressive to get this account closer to positive.
