Market Bias for Issue #210

Our current Market Bias with Timer Digest is SHORT SPX as of Monday SEP 18 at 2503.87
Our previous Market Bias was FLAT SPX as of Thursday SEP 14 at 2495.62


            Here are the trade parameters for this week:

SPX Money Management Stop for 100% of our position = 2516
SPX BreakEven Stop (Last Open) for last 20% of our position = 2499
SPX Primary Profit Target for first 80% of our position = 2465
SPX Secondary Profit Target for last 20% of our position = 2440


Action Asset Expiration Strike Option
BUY SPY Friday OCT 6 249 Puts
SELL SHORT SPY Friday OCT 6 244 Puts
You need to execute both legs and hold it as a PutSpread.

Note A: Once the Primary Profit Target has been reached, traders are advised to close 80% of their position in order to lock in profits. The remaining balance can be carried over with a BreakEven STOP, based on the SPX level at the time of entry, in order to make the trade a zero-risk trade with the final position running to reach the Secondary Profit Target. Once either Secondary Profit or Money Management (BreakEven STOP after the 80% peel-off) is hit, our Option/ETF trade for that week is over. Go to Cash and wait for the next PMT Issue.

Note B: When we change our Market Bias with Timer Digest, You need to go FLAT asap. With PMT Pro, that is before the Close that day and with the basic PMT, at the open of the next day.
