Trade plan:
Entry by oversold + support/resistance analysis
Expecting old gap-up support level at $104.50 to hold after recovering from breakdown test on 12/04/17, until Mar.'18 expiration.
RISKS: Break-even within the at-the-money straddle expected move by expiration; bid/ask spreads ~$0.23 on entry; earnings announcement before expiration.
Expecting to adjust to minimize loss if price tests break-even level and consolidates.
Approaching earnings date will be used as needed to roll spread - to take advantage of swollen IV - unless trade is a quick loser before then.
Risky trade requires more days to work and to allow room for adequate adjustment.
