Cabot Options Institute Quant Trader – Alert (SPY)
I’m going to lock in some nice profits today and as a result, our win ratio is now 18 out of 19 winning trades since starting the service back in June. I’ll also be adding a few new trades to the mix over the next day or two, so be on the lookout for an opening trade alert.
SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) – December 16, 2022, 420/425 Bear Call Spread
With only 10 days left until the December 16 expiration and the ability to lock in well over 50% of the original premium sold, I’ve decided to lock in some nice profits. If you choose to hold on to the trade, for the opportunity of greater returns please be aware of the risks.
The Trade
Simultaneously:
Buy to close SPY December 16 2022, 420 call strike
Sell to close SPY December 16, 2022, 425 call strike for a total of $0.14 (As always, the price of the spread will vary, so please adjust accordingly.)
SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) – January 20, 2023, 435/440 Bear Call Spread
We just placed the trade five days ago, but with 45 days left until the January 20, 2023, expiration and the ability to lock in well over 50% of the original premium sold, it just doesn’t make sense to hold on to the trade. We can always reestablish a bear call spread and will when it makes sense. I’ve decided to lock in some nice profits. If you choose to hold on to the trade, for the opportunity of greater returns please be aware of the risks.
