TMUS Weekly Options Play

Description
TMUS began its bear market following the major trendline break in August. It has now broken through major support at 108.5 established SEP - OCT of 20'.

The break through 108.5 is the signal for the entry, and also the stop loss for the position.
Using long puts to leave the downside open.
The level of the VIX right now is my primary concern in opening long option positions. I consider all of my positions risky, and manage risk accordingly.
