/ES/SPX/SPY #hedge
Closed out the /ES 2690/2700 back ratio for 300 or a $3025 loss. Just means the market did not crash.
So I have been trying to figure out a cheaper way to do these but still get the 10% coverage for a 10% down move. I came up with a modified risk twist/unbalanced butterfly. Cost about half as much as the back ratio.
BTO the Mar 2020 /ES 2790/2780/2770 butterfly. Ratio is one 2790 sold, bought three 2780 and sold one 2770 for $1690. About half the cost of the back ratio. Still good coverage and could always tweak the ratio if the market really starts to move. So this will only cost about $6800 per year instead of 12k but the deductible stays about the same.
Here is the graph and just put his on 10 minutes ago so can probably do the same. For every 100k in the account I would do 1.
