Opening (IRA): IWM April 19th 165 Short Put Long

iShares Russell 2000 ETFArca

Description

... for a 2.10 credit.

Comments: Starting to erect rungs in the second quarter (April, May, June). QQQ doesn't have an April yet, and I already have a SPY rung on out in that contract, so just doing the small caps here. Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.

I'll naturally look to add in shorter duration should we get a bump in IV, but may have to dabble outside the broad market (IWM, QQQ, SPY) box to get paid something decent in shorter duration.

Trade closed manually

Global Close: Not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Money, taking, running since I'm in excess of goal for the year. Closed for 1.26; .84 ($84) winner.
