Trading SPX Credit Spreads in a Range Bound Market
In episode 74 of the podcast, I talked about an SPX credit spread I was trading in this rangebound market. In this episode, I'll cover how that went and two other similar call credit spreads we traded since then. All with the same analysis in mind. A couple points I tried to cover in the show was why sell a call spread when the market is rallying? And why take profits when there's still lots of time and value left in the spread?Want to connect with myself and other listeners of this podcast?Go to https://StockMarketOptionsTrading.net and join the community for free right now where there are daily posts about the clues to the where the market may be headed next.
