SPY systems trade notification

    FYI with the big sell off one of the SPY reversion to mean sub systems are looking to take a 1st entry today at the close. The sub system is the QE BTS, the system can have up to 3 entries. 

    Here's an image and the stats. Decent stats but also realize the max historical draw down is about 10% so I can take some draw down, hence the chance for multiple entries.

    Trades:
    - At the close we'll buy $10K of the SPY ETF (remember SPY trades until 8 pm EST in after hrs)
    - 1 SPY call option with a May 21st expiration. I do not know the option yet, will wait until near the close (options trade until 4:15). Normally I go out 2 months however I only see April 23rd and May 21st, so rounding up to May 21st. Also for 1st entry options I target options with a 0.6 - 0.65 delta. For 2nd entries I target a 0.5, for 3rd I target an even lower delta

    clearly no SPY trade unless
