Nice one Gustavo!
Have you thought about / back tested doing this strategy using weeklies for your shorts and rolling them every week to the next weekly, keeping your longs those couple of months out?
Cheers

Thanks DZ, I only tested this trade with the monthly contracts, to be honest I'm still learning how they work.

I think I've seen folks trading these on the weekly contracts, have you done it that way?

thanks!
Gustavo

Just looking at using the weeklies with Priceline (PCLN). Big stock, more like an index but it cuts down on commissions!
