Long Term XLK (Rolling 4s) Play
This is a breakdown of some back testing I did on playing XLK with a LEAP option. LEAP options are 1-2 year plays using the Excel pricing sheet created by Mark Monroe to select the strike price.
Setup: Bought the EFT when the it bounced up off a key support/EMA (typically 50) and a bounce up as the EFT was up trending.
