Description PYPL moving up into the gap that was created following the earnings release. Not all gaps will be filled, but they give a good clue as to how supply and demand will play out.
I would typically put on a call credit spread for a long position, but this low volatility, lethaly-injected environment lends to being a seller of options. I am also "hedged" with plenty of long options in case anything goes haywire.
Put Credit Spread By Expiration Max loss occurs at any strike under the long put (207.5) Max gain occurs at any strike over the short put (210) SL < 210 *Stops based off underlying stock price, not mark to market loss
The Trade BUY 11/19 207.5P SELL 11/19 210P
