Dear Samuel,

As mentioned on the blog post-
Buy sept 100put, sell Aug 100put for 3.75 debit. if you decide to open, keep a tight profit loss control. I am looking for 15-20% gain.

Profitable trading, OP

I'm new to calendar spreads and would like to paper trade this one with you.

Is there a good resource for explaining when and why to put on calendar spreads? Do you want the stock to be neutral or bearish? I see from your post that you like the high IV so how is that played?

Also, what kind of stop would you use to protect yourself?

Thanks,

Mojo
