A fill price of $0.02 will cut The J.E.D.I. Way's losses on the February 2009 30 Day Fed Funds to $84.60 ($0.03 [initial purchase price paid for straddle] minus .02 [price we will attempt to exit straddle at] /.25 x 10.4175 x 100 minus $42.93 in commissions [$14.31 x 3])

The February 2009 30 Day Fed Funds Chart above appears to be taking on the shape of a rounding topping pattern which may imply that prices on this particular month's contract has peaked.
