The statistical retrace would bring to you to the .38 fib and for a timeline around APR26. As you can see @ expiry if you had buy an APR26 18 strike call you won't fair too well. Buying atm performs a little better, but the risk is also higher, and it still requires a timely move to 17 by APR22 or you will be underwater fast.
Ya thanks like I didn't know leaps existed. Clearly leaps are favorable but you need capital, and need to time it properly to maximize gains or suffer larger losses if it goes against you.
How long are we talking? Sure you can go way out and nothing happens, but once you get within 6 months if you aren't itm the time decay is going to destroy you. Been there buddy...not pleasant. Not to mention the spreads are usually garbage so once in you are committed.
