The 6th trade in the challenge was executed on the 17th July. With very little cash balance left over, I decided to buy some call options on Corbion (CRBN). According to the B52 Strategy, the stock is in a continuation pattern.

As previously stated i do not take a physical short, I use put options to gain exposure to the downside. With almost 40% of my £800 capital...
The second trade in the £800 to £1 million challenge is a short on Vienna Exchange Stock Zumtobel. In my first post, i highlighted that during the challenge i will be using Put Options to go Short.
