Stock / Symbol: Direxion Small Cap Bull 3x / TNA;
Option Strategy: [private_monthly]calendar[/private_monthly];
Price at trade post: $88.30;
Reasoning: I'm looking at directional trade on the Russell, betting on a small 2% pullback. TNA ia a supercharged way to play the Russell. If RUT is down 2%, TNA will be down 6%. I'm putting on a [private_monthly]put calendar[/private_monthly] on TNA. The greeks on this trade are: -23 delta, a 8 theta, and 11.6. I'm using a [private_monthly]calendar[/private_monthly] because I'm expecting volatility to rise. I plan on selling the weekly [/private_monthly] 84 puts until such time TNA hits 84. If TNA moves against us, we'll either stop out or adjust by adding a call calendar.[/private_monthly]
