Today I initiated a December position, going out in time a little further than usual. I don't want to add anymore November exposure due to the elections:

BUY 20 December SPX 1860 Put @9.30
Total Credit received: $1,300

Stochastics and McClellan Oscillator both oversold. In addition, only 26% of stocks were above their 20 Day Moving Average at the time of the trade.
