LULU BeCS
BTC LULU 180/190 4/26 BeCS @0.27.
This was some “when in doubt close it out” — it was the call side of an 150/160/180/190 4/26 #ironcondor sold for 1.25 on 4/17. Still have the put side – didn’t get any fills for a BTC order – expecting to hold it through expiration.
NFLX closed
#Earnings Bought to close $NFLX 345/355-365/375 #IronCondor for 4.15 and 4.16. Sold yesterday for 8.35. With price at dead center, taking profit and running as NFLX may still move big. Can’t Truss It.
NFLX tight condor
#Earnings Sold to Open $NFLX Apr 18th 345/355-365/375 #IronCondor for 8.35.
Risking 1.65 to make 5.00-7.00. Max win is about 8.35 but that’s only if I wait for expiration on Thursday. I’ll look to close this when (and if) stock price gets close enough to my 10-point center range for a profit.
NFLX often gaps big, but then sometimes will fade for the rest of the day (or two days). This is a smaller position as probability is lower and I don’t want to lose the max on a large position.
PNC up and out
#Earnings I played this one exactly right… slightly bearish lean. Today’s +3.1% day is the highest one-day move up after earnings since January 2013. So, expiring with 3.00 exercise cost, $PNC #IronCondor, sold yesterday for 2.00.
PNC (slightly) bearish condor
#Earnings Sold $PNC Apr 12th 124/127-128/131 #IronCondor for 2.00.
Risking 1.00 to make 2.00. Sightly bearish due to its recent history.
PNC earnings analysis
#Earnings $PNC reports tomorrow morning. Below are details on earnings one-day moves over the last 12 quarters.
Comparing 1-point-wide, 3-point-wing #IronCondor trades, PNC comes out with a much better R/R than does $JPM. PNC has a slightly lower average move, but weighted toward downside.
