Hey Matt, Im just a dummy but what has worked for me is rolling
the SPY trades which have been spot on. Using the current trade I
bought the SPY 393 after hours on the 12th when the note came out
10 contracts=$22600ish iI mental stop of $2 for about a 10 % loss
it later traded up the next day and when I had over a
$1500 gain I rolled to the just in the money 405 Calls and by the
time I did the trade had a 2K gain so keeping my stop margin I was
at break even if it failed. Today SPY is over 415 so I rolled up
again, took risk off the table and lowered my cost
basis.............The numbers work as follows
BUY SPY 393C...22600 (APPRX)
...........................................................................................................................................................BUY
SPY 415C....10300...........now with the extra credit my cost basis
is about 6900 for a Call selling for
10300, I have a 1500 stop loss locking in a 1500
profit at the moment
Hey Matt, Im just a
Just an observation …. The SPY option only a point ...
