Diary | 2/20/2020 | RUT Spread
Updated
Description: Initiating a long delta position in 
RUT via a credit spread.
Justification:
- Directional Play: Yes, adding long delta and improving my theta/vega numbers with this short duration, high IV play.
- Technical: Below 20 and 50 moving averages. We finally saw what markets crashing down looks like (again); in the /ES we took out a VPOC and currently sitting in last week's balancing zone.
- Fundamental: Earnings continue to improve; Fed really supportive; jobs data positive; ISM manufacturing higher; market participants equally split between bullish and bearish. Virus data questionable.
If/Then:
- Take profit? 50% of credit received.
- Where will you hedge? $1605
Strategy Details:
- Short and Long leg: $1595, $1575
- Short Leg Delta: 0.10
- Duration: March 6
