Technical 'buying ' on 5 waves correction completed, with 62 DBThis looks too good to be true - or is it? Technical perfect with :
1. 5 waves correction
2. 62 % retraced from low to high this year
3. a double bottom with May low
So I got aggressive and sold a bull put spread for premium two weeks expires.
Sold 45 ( 4500 shares) contracts of American PUT strike 15.50 ......for 0.24
bought 14.50...........-0.07 for profit premium paid 0.17 ($765)
ORI trade ideas
Neutral to bullish - bull put spread ( net credit)
Options trade - Bull Put Spread
technical - seems like a two legged correction in a weak bullish trend of equal amounts has indicated a pause in price ;
The at the money put at 16.50 is sold for credit for Aug 20th expirey;
The out of money put at 15.50 is bought for debit
net credit $1000
scenarios -
1. If > 16.50 at expires keep money
2. if between 15.50 & 16.50 try to get out around breakeven...
3. If really goes down hard < 15.50 strike or breakeven point, may have to roll down for small loss...
Turtle soup new 20 day low- and ABC correction
There is a technical termination of C wave in textbook correction,
so to be neutral to bullish seems a better than 50% chance.
Using time-decay last 14 days of Bull Put spread;
short 16.00 Jul 15 strike / long 15.50 Jul - for net credit payment of +$639 for 2 weeks wait....
Just needs to expire > 16.00 to be 'out of the money' for a win here.
