With GLD at or near all time highs, looking to buy the back month -90 delta put and sell the front expiry +30 delta to synthetically emulate a covered put with -60 delta or so. Will look to take profit at 110% of my cost basis (i.e., a 21.57 credit, resulting in a 1.96/$196 profit).
Metrics:
Max Loss: 19.61 debit Break Even: 190.39 relative to 189.64 spot (pre-market) Max Profit: The width of the spread (25.00) minus the debit paid (19.61) or 5.39 ($539)
Will adjust price at open if necessary to get a fill.
