OPENING: XOP NOV 15TH 16/SEPT 20TH 22 LONG CALL DIAGONAL
Updated
... for a 4.89 debit.
Metrics:
Max Profit: 111/contract
Max Loss: 489/contract
Break Even: 20.89
Delta/Theta: 38.75/.98
Debit Paid to Spread With Ratio: 81.5%
Notes: Going long XOP at long-term lows with a 90/50 long call diagonal (i.e., 90 delta for the long call/50 for the short). Going a little more aggressive with the short call than I usually would to get a little more room to the downside. Shooting for 50% max.

Taking some profit (about .35/$35 per contract) on break of the short call by rolling out the diagonal as a unit "as is" to the Oct 22/Dec 16 for a .19/contract credit; scratch at 4.70/BE at 20.70. It doesn't improve my break even a great deal, but extends duration on the long in the event I want to keep reducing cost basis ... .Trade active
