Analytical universe
This week I shall be analyzing new bull and bear signals among 1,269 mid-cap and larger stocks and exchange-traded funds.
Trading calendar
By my rules for shorter-term trades, I'm trading March options and later for the short legs of vertical, diagonal and calendar spreads and covered calls, and for all legs of butterfly spreads and iron condors. I'm trading May options and later for single calls and puts as well as straddles. Shares, of course, are good at any time.
Good trading.
