# Daily Narrative · QQQ P618/P613 · 2026-04-21

*Day 0 of the position · 24 DTE remaining · first-person check-in*

Day 0 — fill day. Filled earlier today at $0.72 net credit, $72 per contract. Current spread mid is $0.77 — already $5 different from fill, which isn't a real move, it's the bid/ask reshuffling after I took liquidity.

QQQ right now: $646.90 (-0.07% from entry at $647.36). Net delta 0.029 means the spread is approximately delta-neutral, as designed.

The numbers I actually care about today:
- Theta: +$1.21/day — this is my paycheck, roughly 1.7% of the total credit per day
- Short leg delta: -0.22 — entry was -0.21, basically unchanged
- PT distance: 114% away
- SL distance: 87% away

First lesson of the day: **ignore intraday P&L on fill day**. The MTM will drift for a few hours as the market makers re-quote both legs. Anything less than 30% toward a trigger is noise.

Price alerts set at $0.36 and $1.44. Calendar reminder set for 2026-04-24 (21 DTE review). Nothing else to do until tomorrow.
