OPTION TRADE OF THE DAY

 OPTION TRADE OF THE DAY!

2-5

Emini S&P- The market’s recent sell-off is looking like a Fibonacci Digestive move from the November lows.  We recently liquidated or Dow put spread and are now buying the dip using the May Emini options.  We are looking for the market to return to its recent highs over the next thirty to 40 days.  The May options are based on June futures so the chart says June but the options expire in May.  Buy the May 1080 call; sell the 1130 call and as the naked leg we are selling the 970 put.  The trade is currently a collection of $350.  That means at expiration, as long as the market is above 970 the trade would be profitable, under 967 the trade has unlimited risk.  The profit potential is limited to $2,500 with the market at or above 1130 on the third Friday of May.  Buy the Dip!
