Afraid of Market Down Moves? Not This Trade!

June 26, 2020 by John Locke Leave a Comment

The Winning Trade Episode 32 Bull

Afraid of market down moves? Not this trade! Many traders favor Delta neutral strategies over bullish verticals because they are afraid of a down move. And while it may be true that a Delta neutral position can handle a larger down move if that down move happens immediately, it is equally as true that later in the trade, after we get a substantial up move and the neutral position needs to be adjusted, that the bullish vertical can actually handle a much larger and faster down move. So, it’s not just a matter of whether the market goes up or down, it’s also a matter of timing. Observe how this trade experience a down move that would kill many market neutral strategies and still produced a substantial win!  Click here or in the video below to take a look!
