Stock / Symbol: SPDR Discretionary ETF / XLY
Strategy: Diagonal Put Spread
Trade post date: 19 Jan 2023 / $135.55
Price at this post: $145.50

Update / Reasoning: With XLY gapping up today and the chart indicating a technical support point at $143, I'm going to exit the trade here for a loss. With the short put expiring worthless last Friday, only the long put needs to be closed out.
