Trade entered today based on my thinking that
1. This is our second green bar in a row, and I believe that either we have found a new range in the 190-200 range or we are headed back up. Which leads me to point number two
2. If we are in fact in a range then the 184 short strike is outside of that range and then some, providing a decent margin of error.
184 was also the 16 delta short strike at the time, and met the return metrics for the trade (10% return on margin required - AKA Max loss). The plan will remain with these trades to close at -200% or take profit at +50%.
Fill on these was -0.57 on average after commissions.
That is it, mechanical and S/R based. Sorry there isnt more secret sauce!
