Description: Initiated this neutral strategy prior to some major moves yesterday. Going back, I shouldn't have done this trade (i.e., credit was way too small for the amount of risk I was taking on).
Justification:
- Directional Play: No. This strategy adds balance to my vega numbers.
- Technical: Short-term zone of congestion.
- Fundamental: Earnings continue to improve; Fed really supportive; jobs data positive; ISM manufacturing higher; market participants equally split between bullish and bearish ; virus data (if correct) shows the growth in virus cases slowing; trade going in a positive direction; and so on.
If/Then:
- Take profit? 20% of credit received.
Strategy Details:
- Short and Long leg: $2165, 2175, 2185
- Duration: Feb 21
