    So what does this mean ?

    JPM sold to open 40,000

    JPM sold to open 40,000 calls (5880) and purchased 40,000 (5290/4460 put spread)

    In finance, a "JPM collar" or "J.P. Morgan collar" refers to a specific options strategy, or a hedge wrapper, used by JPMorgan Chase & Co. to hedge a long equity portfolio, involving buying a put option and selling a call option with the same expiration date, effectively limiting downside risk while also capping potential upside.  

    Each quarter this hedge fund rolls to a news options collar trade, and the resulting hedging flows can often impact the market. To enter the collar, the fund sells a 3-5% out of the money call, and use those proceeds to buy a 3-5% out of the money put spread.

    1. Any updates on this? Have they rolled during OpEx or is end of Qtr?

    2. Thanks so much for AZ  3. Thoughts on Iran breaking ceasefire agreement with sleeper cell activity - black swan? How would you hedge? 

    TY again!

    They  have yet to roll

    They  have yet to roll into quarter end and it has less influence with price further away - focus on price action and adhere to your plan.  No idea on what may/may not happen in Mideast but structure is bullish on market until evidence changes.  I've been pounding the table to BTFD over the past few weeks with target ATH area. 

    All in just scratching out
