10-22 T-Bonds appear to have put in a double top at the 135 level based upon December.  We are looking at what we feel may be a long term top in the Bonds.  The December options have less than 40 days which could work to our advantage if the market falls as sharply as we think it will going into November.  Buy the December 130/127 bear put spread and sell the Naked 135 call for a overall credit of 3 tics.  The object of course is for Bonds to sell of below 127 where the spread would have an intrinsic value of $3,000.  The risk above 135 is the equivalent of being short the futures from that price.
