Small Account Trader PRO Alert: XLK Trade Adjustment

Our bearish position on the XLK continues to work against us. Since we’ve entered this trade, we’ve only had 3 partial down days and the market hasn’t traded low enough to move the needle in our favor.

 

Let’s manage the position by reversing it to the upside. We will close the current position and flip it to a bullish broken wing butterfly. We took in 2.39 credit when we opened the trade. We can close it for a net debit of around 4.78 but collect another 2.10 of credit which will leave us with a net debit of around 0.30 debit.
