TRADE ALERT: Trade Close and Reset – XLE
TRADE CLOSE AND RESET
SPDR Energy ETF (XLE): 83.49
XLE has been moving around too much for our “core” trade to keep up. Rather than fight the whip saws let’s take advantage of that by selling an iron condor. This will bring in good credit while allowing more movement than a calendar typically does.
