Delta calendar spread strangle idea

NYSE:DAL   Delta Air Lines, Inc.
Delta airlines has stayed in an upward trend channel the past 4 months. Today it peeked out above it at $43.67. I saw this as a good entry for a DAL$42-45calendarSpreadStrangle12/11-12/18. This gives me a week to profit the price action on the put side and 2 weeks to profit the price action on the call side. The reason I spread the expiry dates like this is because DAL was at the extreme 4 month trend channel high so I'm anticipating sooner movement on the downside and later movement on the upside. Either way I'm covered for the future price action with risk management. The only potential losing part of this trade is the theta, time decay, that's why I entered a strangle at an extreme point in DAL chart pattern expecting movement. Do your own due diligence, your risk is 100% your responsibility. You win some or you learn some. Consider being charitable with some of your profit to help humankind. Small incremental steps work : If you double a penny for a month it = $5,368,709. Good luck and happy trading friends...
