Notes:
Due to market conditions, we are going to apply the butterfly/dragonfly tactic to SMH. While we have not traded this tactic in other tickers in the service while I was testing these I had good success with SMH. We are going out 21 DTE to expand our range. This trade will need an adjustment to be profitable to the upside but we can wait until early to mid-week next week before we need the adjustment.
TRADE ACTION 1: Open a butterfly for a debit of around 0.38 – 0.47
