I think I am only going to buy verticals from here on out. Profit is capped but risk is significantly reduced.
I'll tell you what are fun are SPX verticals that expire the same day. They are lottos but work regularly in this violent market. On Friday I bought the 2850-2855 call vertical for .65 late in the day. It maxed out at 4.65. I've done these for the last month. Hit about 40%. When you can hit 40 percent and make anywhere from 5:1 to 9:1, it works. You have to be right on your direction of course. Theta decay works in your favor big time.
I agree I have started buying more verticals. The key is how far out you buy them.
Good luck!
When you bought this how far otm were both these strikes?
