Opening (Margin): DIA Aug 18th 348/Sept 15th 351/2 x 359
... Covered Zebra.
Comments: A variation on one of the bearish assumption setups I described over the weekend. (See Post Below).
Here, the September 15th 351/2 x 359 is the Zebra aspect, which functions as synthetic short stock. This is, in turn, "covered" by an additional short put so the entire setup has the delta metrics of a covered put (short stock, plus a short put).
Put on for an 11.10 debit, I'll look to take profit starting for around 10% of what I put in on for.
