OPTION TRADE OF THE DAY!
1-13
Beans report fueled drop yesterday appears to have nothing more than a Fibonacci digestive move as we head into the seasonally strong time of year in the beans. Beans have a seasonal tendency to trade higher from early February through mid June as denoted on the bottom of the chart. We are reversing our position here by buying the July 1020 calls, selling the July 1120 calls and selling the July 900 puts. The spread is running at about even money or free not including commissions, so as long as the market is above 9 come expiration your risk would be commissions, under 9 you have unlimited risk, above 10 the trade is profitable with a maximum profit potential of $5,000 (minus commissions) with the market at or above 1120 on expiration, however you can exit at anytime.
There is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures and options.
