We are getting too close to the money, and too close to expiration in this spread that the risk reward has tipped against us.
I am therefore going to stop out of my position in the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) November, 2016 $127-$130 in-the-money vertical bull call spread.
We held on the first test of the $130 upper leg in this spread. We might not the next time, given the rising chance of a Fed interest rate rise in December.
When one these spreads moves against you, they do so big time. Stopping out here is easy because I know there is a 90% chance that the next trade alert will be a winner.
