Comments: Short strangling the highest implied volatility broad market ETF on the board in the expiry nearest 45 days until expiry by selling the 16 delta strikes on both sides. 3.07 on buying power effect of 31.32 on margin; 9.8% ROC as a function of buying power effect. Will look to take profit at 50% max; manage sides on approaching worthless or on side test.

Another way to look at this trade is that I'm betting small caps continue to "behave" somewhat and stay in the range they've been in all year long.
