Our XLF broken wing butterfly is sitting almost dead center of the profit and loss graph tent … right at max profit. However, we have 9 days to go to expiration to collect that profit and a Fed meeting with rate hike this afternoon and the potential for volatile market reaction.
We set up our recent XLF broken wing butterfly so we could take advantage of the time decay and exit early from this trade. Let’s close it. We collected a 1.39 of credit at the open and we can close it paying a net debit of 0.85 and 0.90. That will leave us with a net credit of 0.52 or $52 per contract and a $260 profit on 5 contracts.
