IWM trade ideas

Opened (Margin): IWM 144/154/182/192 Iron Condor... for a 3.34 credit. Comments: (Late Post). Another "synthetic short strangle" I put on on Friday, with the short legs set up around the 25 delta, the longs out from there to obtain a 50% ROC at max metric. 3.34 credit on buying power effect of 6.66; 50.2% at max; 25.1% at 50% max. Will primarily look to roll paired legs (short call/long put, short put/long call) to delta balance. For example, the short call finished the day in .52/$52 worth of profit, the long put .43/$43, so I would look to roll the short call and long put down simultaneously to lock in that realized gain and to delta balance.

What is next?IWM gives us mixed signals. It gives both bearish and bullish signals, which can be disturbing, but I have a strategy for that too... But first let's analyse the chart. A symmetrical triangle is forming after a huge seloff. Meanwhile, the weekly S2 pivot point (165.77) and the POC (168.51) are squeezing the price into a tighter range. The tighter it squeezes, the bigger the breakout will be. At the same time; MACD shows a regular divergence, which is bullish. The RSI was oversold(<30), now it is back above 30 and rising, which is also a bullish sign. On the other hand, we are still in a downward trend, so a continuation is possible. It supports the fact that today's green candle is low in volume, which means that participation is low. Whatever the situation, I expect a huge breakout in one direction or another. In my opinion, the "straddle" option strategy is best suited to this situation. I am playing the 18 Nov 22 169 straddle. Support: 165.77, 155.58 Resistance: 168.97, 172.63, 178.24

IWM is basing, don't get bearish yetHey all, IWM has stood out to me for both its relative strength despite the dump into the end of September and the basing pattern it has made at a key level. I was trying to play a bounce early last week, and though I was initially up, I am now either red or neutral on every position I have longed, except for IWM, which I am up on *barely*. I expect there to be a bounce across markets in October; the question, in my eyes, remains when & how substantive; if I had to answer those questions now, I think we put in a bottom early this week, and I am looking for a roughly ~9% bounce on the S&P. As my key reference point, I am looking to 2008. I think we have a ~9% deat cat(S&P) bounce before an accelerated sell-off, similar to 2008. I think trading long here on the Russell is a very solid risk:reward trade.
