NFLX put closed
#Earnings Closed 1 of my 3 $NFLX July 20th 360 puts for breakeven, 3.40 (covering commissions). I’ll leave the other two.
Looking to close my 360/350 spread for breakeven or small profit, too. The spreads are in smaller accounts and don’t want to risk full loss if NFLX peters out and reverses down.
EOG earnings momentum
EOG earnings momentum
Bot EOG Aug3 128c @ 1.49 x3 using a 16/1 custom setup. Will add more on pullbacks.
http://tm.cmlviz.com/index.php?share_key=20180717154145_XFW5sKDzPilfg84I
16/1 setup = Enter 16 days before earnings. Exit one day before earnings. Pick an option expiration that covers the earnings report date. Choose a long call with the delta that gives the best results based on historical data. Standard setups in CML are 3/1, 7/1, and 14/1. Standard delta is 40.
CELG
#LongCalls – The experiment is winding down…adding another little bull put spread for some help. Still would like it back closer to 85 but risk is capped at 86. Looking like it will be an overall small loser but with earnings next week I may try one more trade to get even…LOL
Sold CELG JUL 20 2018 84.5/82.5 Bull Put Spreads @ .27
AZO supercharger closed
#SuperCharger Sold to close $AZO July 20th 660/670 bull call spread for 9.75. This was purchased last Wednesday for 7.39 as an ITM long call spread. Thanks to MamaCash for the idea!
I am looking to do it again, but could use a bit of downward action in the stock. Looking at an ITM spread for August 3rd expiry.
AVGO put spread
Sold $AVGO Aug 17 200/190 BuPS @ 2.33. Delta of short strike is 33.
