DailyPlay – Opening Trade (DHI) – September 18, 2024
DHI Bullish Opening Trade Signal Investment Rationale...
Read MoreAs we head into this week’s payrolls data on Friday morning, there are signs that we could get another negative surprise, similiar to July’s numbers. JOLTs data this week came in weaker than expected and the Fed’s Survey for Aug shows a contraction in both manufacturing and services payrolls. The markets have been very sensitive and have reacted very strongly to poor jobs numbers and I believe it is worth while to put on a small hedge against further volatility at the end of this week with a put hedge on SPY.
Buy Sept $547/530 Put Vertical @ $3.85 Debit, this would risk less than 1% of the ETF’s value to hedge against some short term volatility that could materialize on Friday.
Strategy: Long Put Vertical Spread
Direction: Bearish Debit Spread
Details: Buy to Open 5 SPY Sept 20th $547/$530 Put Vertical Spreads $3.85 Debit per Contract.
Total Risk: This trade has a max risk of $1,925 (5 Contracts x $385) based on a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio risking 2%. We suggest using 2% of your portfolio value and divide it by $385 to select the # contracts for your portfolio.
Counter Trend Signal: This is a bearish trade on a stock that is expected to pull back to lower levels.
1M/6M Trends: Bullish/Bullish
Relative Strength: 7/10
OptionsPlay Score: 138
Stop Loss: @ $1.93 Credit (50% loss of premium)
