Despite the Columbus holiday and bond market closed, we did see a little bit of volatility including an outside reversal bar in the consumer discretionary sector. We laid out new positions in SPX and TSLA to capture more option decay in these quiet, pre-earnings markets.
Also, we are launching a MotiveWave beta program for a new offering. If you would like to help in the testing, please email me @ todd@tradinganalysis.com. Thanks!
