XRT - SPDR Retail ETF - Synthetic Straddle 

SPDR S&P Retail ETFArca

Description

XRT is still about the only ETF with nice premium out there. I went with a synthetic straddle in this case, similar to the smaller Iron Flies I did in the other accounts.

Trade Setup:
- 1 XRT Apr 21 38/44/44/50 Iron Fly (Synthetic Straddle) @ $2.40

DTE: 53
Max Win: $240
Max Loss: $360
Breakevens: 41.60 & 46.40

Trade Management: I will look to take around 25% out of this trade, or $60. Since the BP used is a small % of the portfolio, I'll likely let this one run to expiration/full loser if that was how it needed to be managed. We'll have to make the case for inversion if we get there.

Green is profit zone; Vertical black bar is expiration.

Trade closed: target reached

Close at $1.68. ~ 30% profit.
