HD - swing PUTS, low risk

179
Notice both yellow rectangles show a sharp stochastic move during a small price pullback. The larger selloff (white line) ensued after a retracement. I am looking for the same thing to happen here. One difference though is RSI did not drop as much the second time, so I will be looking for it to move below 50 in support of this trade.
I bought 7/17 expiry 230 puts, on June 16. When I go this far out in time I have to be willing to hold through paper losses as long as the chart supports my position.
I did not set a stop on this yesterday. After seeing the first hour's price action today, my stop is above today's high for a partial exit.

Note
I will be holding HD puts into next week. Ratner than set a hard stop loss right now (I have time) I will watch chart and price next week to decide on holding or exiting.
Trade active
Holding puts for now. Today was low volume compared to Friday. Next two days I will see what daily RSI and stochastic show me.
Trade active
I bought 7/17, 230 strike puts a while back (for 2.89) and today am near break even. I am going to hold for stock to move down to 243-242, and 10sma on weekly chart.
Trade closed: target reached
I am taking profits today. Stock has come down to 243, sold puts for 4.00
