Trade details
Instrument:
Notes: Had good luck with a straddle last time we were at 800. This level has been acting as a pivot point in recent months.
Bear market rallies can be fierce and this one is no exception. While I'm biased to the downside, I still have to be prepared for the market to move higher.
Buying an 800 April straddle here for $6.29 per contract. This position will be profitable if we can get a 5 pt swing in either direction over the next week or so. If we move down, the trade will also get a nice bump with an IV increase.
Looking for a 15-20% profit here. No plan to hold this to expiration.
I'm actually looking at something similar myself although I have more downside bias. Considering maybe a calendar spread to take adv of vol spike.
