looks to me like a rally is coming in the next day or so to at least S&P 1180.

And of course it doesn't really matter 'bird because the beauty of this forum is that it isn't about being right or wrong. It's just about posting a trade. You don't even have to post a follow-up.
So just to clarify, are you saying you're long the SPX here with a minimum target of 1180 in 1-2 trading days?

Excellent points. In essence, I'm shorting the stock here, but with room to be wrong without having to make an exit decision right away. This strike gives me more premium wiggle room than deeper ITM calls yet with a greater profit-potential than the OTM calls if I'm right.Quote from MAESTRO:
If I may comment. I thought that selling May 50 Calls would be a better play as the premiums after deducting the intrinsic values are virtually identical and 50 is a better physiological level. Delta is pretty good on 50 (0.27) . Theta is increasing rapidly so you might be making the same profit with a lot less risk. But its just a thought. I might be wrong here. Good luck to you.
