GS

#Earnings – Another low probability, low risk, high reward, iron fly. Need slightly lower and inside the expected move.

Sold GS JUL 21 2017 225.0/227.5/230.0 Iron flies @ 2.16

Risk 34 to make 216…not likely but still worth a shot.

NFLX earnings

Sold these earlier, will probably add a couple more contracts to each. Taking the bullish route as the up moves in NFLX can be face-ripping, while the down moves are manageable.

STO NFLX July 21st 160/155 put spread for 2.00.
STO NFLX July 21st 157.5/152.5 put spread for 1.70

From last 12 quarters, NFLX 5-day moves: Biggest UP move: 27.8%, Biggest DOWN move: -19.9%, Average move: 13.1%.
