Description: Initiated this neutral strategy prior to some major moves yesterday. Did I know that was going to happen? No, but it definitely got me out of the trade faster.
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: 182.5/187.5/192.5
- Duration: Feb 21
