Just so you know: I always use examples with a quantity of 1 (one) option per trade. This is not because I only trade one of each option, it is to keep the illustrations simple and easy to understand in the newsletter. Please remember the strategies of the trades I post here are risky, and not suitable for all traders. Posts here are for educational purposes only.
Crude Oil: With the JUL19 Crude Oil trading very near $60 per barrel, the 75 CALL is $15 up and the 45 PUT is $15 down. I have nothing new to add to commentary on Crude. Here’s the chart on today’s trade:
