Opening (IRA): INDA March 21st -52C/June 20th 2 x 45C/-50C... covered zebra for a 9.93 debit.
Comments: I fiddled mightily with bullish assumption setups in this underlying and settled on this setup -- a covered zebra (zero extrinsic ratio back spread).
It consists of two parts: (1) a longer-dated zebra where I bought 2 x the 75 delta strike call and sold the -50 delta call to synthesize a 100 delta setup; (2) against which I sold a shorter-dated -30 delta call. This emulates the delta metrics of a covered call, but with a smaller buying power effect than either a covered call or a long call diagonal.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect: 9.93 debit
Break Even: 49.96/share
Max Profit: 2.04
While you can manage the separate, bullish assumption spreads of the setup, I'll look to money/take/run at 110% of what I put it on for and/or look to roll out the short call to reduce my break even further should my take profit not hit.
