Trade details: 175/160 Put Vertical Credit Spread @ $2.93 Prob. of Max Profit = 72.17% Prob. of Max Loss = 14.05% Break-even @ $172.07 84 D.T.E.
Trade plan: Entry by oversold + support/resistance analysis Expecting a response up or down from $191.20 support level test, probably during next week or the early in Jan. Expecting older support level to hold strong at $170 until Mar.'18 expiration, otherwise adjust to minimize loss if price tests and consolidates at break-even level. RISKS: Break-even within the at-the-money straddle expected move by expiration; bid/ask spreads ~$0.40 on entry; earnings announcement before expiration. Using longer duration for some more premium + the opportunity to adjust spread if trade goes very wrong early on. Expecting spread to expire worthless but will take early profit + place new trade with same bias around earnings if IV swells premium up enough.
