Nov 2019: AAPL $260- $250 Bear Put Spread

Stock

AAPL

Trade Structure

$260- $250 Bear Put Spread

Trade Date

11/09/2019

Expiration Days

12/06/2019

Trade Rationale

On Nov 6th, we put on an AAPL $257-$247 Bear Put Spread because all our indicators were pointing to an imminent market pullback. But after the "China Deal", the market kept roaring higher and higher. Since, our directional bias and analysis hasn't changed, I used this opportunity to put on a new $260-$250 Bear Put Spread for a debit of $312. If AAPL expires below or at $250 in 27 days, we will double our money.

Trade Selection Criteria

Overall market movement

With S&P 500 making new all time highs, the overall market and practically every stock in my watchlist is making new highs. With the first signs of a loss in upward momentum, it is a great time to put on some mean reversion trades
