Have a question for some of you who trade futures.

I've been holding on to some BAC but would like to take some off the table at $29-$30 range. However, I don't want to take the capital gains for 2017 and would prefer to defer my gains to 2018.

If that's the case, should I be buying calls with for example:
Expiry date: Dec 29
Strike: $29.50

Anyone want to educate a futures noob?
