Trade post date: 02 Jul 2021 / $21.42
Price at this post: $21.38

Update / Reasoning: With AAL trading over the $20 strike of short put and with this position's options expiring this Friday, this position has reached nearly 77% of its profit potential. I'm going to enter the closing order now to attempt to lock in a 17% return.
