  • This trade idea risks 2% of the ETF price with a break-even down 2.5% and a max potential gain of 8% if the ETF is down about 10%.

  • Like all long premium directional trade ideas, I will look to cut losses down 50% of the initial premium paid and look to take half off if up 100%

Trade Rationale and Management:
