Intraday Update: QQQ, SPY

Action has slowed down during the afternoon, and QQQ and SPY are spinning around the unchanged mark following a strong early run. We are going to take this opportunity to adjust up/out the hedges pre-CPI reading on Wednesday morning:

  • The QQQ Sep16 $290 - $280 put spread will be closed and an Oct21 $315 - $305 put spread will be opened.
  • The SPY Sep16 $385 - $375 put spread will be closed and an Oct21 $410 - $400 put spread will be opened.
  • Note: these are hedge positions, so if you do not need or want a hedge, then it would be better to focus on specific setups on QQQ and SPY.
