TTWO
At the risk of inundating you with pre-earnings ideas, here’s another from CMLViz. By the way, this flurry will settle down in a couple weeks and I will focus on something else until October. lol.

I’m in TTWO already but prefer to let you pick your own delta and expiration on this one.:-) I’ll be out of town tomorrow so got in early.

LMT
#preearnings #earningsrunup – Nice bounce today. Got the 40 percent….woohoo! Looks like it could have some more room too…another 4 dollars up to the 200ma.
Sold to Close LMT JUL 27 2018 327.5 Call @ 2.65 (bought for 1.90)
BA and LMT pre-earnings notes
I plan to re-enter BA on a pullback if we get one. With 7 days until the earnings report, there’s room to run on a pb.
If you’re in LMT, we only have 6 days until earnings. I have a GTC order to sell my LMT calls at 40% above yesterday’s closing price. I know that some of you are trying this for the first time so will let you know what I’m doing. Here’s to happy and profitable trading!
EOG pre-earnings
Bot EOG Aug3 128c @ 1.05 x2. Adding a layer on today’s pullback.
AMTD BA pre-earnings
Bot AMTD Jul27 58c @ .60 ydy, Sold @ .95
Bot BA Jul27 370c @ 3.45 ydy. Sold @ 4.70
Sometimes these trades are short lived. 40% GTC targets hit or exceeded.
