    RUT at 2291

    I’m going to start a position in RUT with 59 days until expiration. We’ll look to scale into full size in 1/3rds.

    First tranche is going to be a 70X60 Put Butterfly, centered at 2270. I am:

    Buying 2330/2270 Put Debit spread
    Selling 2270/2200 Put Credit spread

    This butterfly is currently going for 4.50-4.70 debit

    Risk Profile:

    Order Ticket:

    NOTE: We’ll add the second tranche when RUT trades 50 points above the short strike of the first tranche or 2320 and I will add another 70X50 put butterfly, centered 40 points above the short strike of the first tranche.

    RUT at 22.98

    I moved all strike up 10 points.

    I’m in RUT 30JUL 2210/2280/2340 Put Butterfly for 5.20 debit as tier 1

    Risk Profile:

    NOTE: Next adjustment when RUT is above 2330

    We’re not quiet at 2250 where I said I’d scale down, but with RUT moving almost 2SD today, this tells me that intraday vol is starting to pick up.

    I’m going to play a bit more defensive here and take down Tier 2, leaving only Tier 1 open. I will add Tier 2 as I would normally do it IF/WHEN RUT trades back above 2330

    I’m going to close out this trade (scaled 2/3 size) with 28 days until expiration and showing around 15%ROR
