Theta decay on calendar spreads

Currently running a calendar spread on a tech name. With the slight pullback in $NDX ($NDX ≈ 30278.82), the front month short option is decaying nicely. Just need the underlying to consolidate for a bit more to realize optimal profit. Patience is key with these.

Interesting. Are you concerned about implied volatility dropping too much if the market consolidates? That could eat into the back month's value.

Totally agree, theta decay is beautiful when it works in your favor. Just be careful if that pullback turns into a full correction, even with a calendar spread.
