PG Bearish inclined naked calls - 22 Jan expiry

91
January's Secondary Trade

This trade is slightly riskier and is the opposite of the general market movement ( bullish ).

The reasons why I pegged this as bearish is:
  • Based on the 9 Nov price movement due to the US elections, where post COVID-19 stocks spiked, PG fell.
  • Consumer Defensive sector seems to be in a position where traders in the short term don't see much aggressive growth vs other sectors which have taken a beating and are poised for bigger climbs as we advance against the virus with the vaccines


PG also seems to be contained in a range that puts my strike in a favorable position as it is near the upper S/R Line.

I'm slightly worried about the Earning release on the 20 Jan and might close this trade before just to be safe. This trade will be hedged with a bullish VXX trade, paid by the Jan premiums

Sold 7 CALLs @ 1.5, Strike 142
BP block: 17k
Max gain est: $1045
Trade closed manually
Closed this manually as the total of the premium gained at this point plus my VXX hedge showed a profit higher and lowered my risk if I just waited for PG to expire :)
