4IBM trade ideas
OPENING: IBM JULY 28TH 145/148/160/162.5 IRON CONDOR... for a 1.10 credit. It announces earnings today after market close.
Metrics:
Probability of Profit: 54%
Max Profit: $110/contract
Max Loss/Buying Power Effect: $190/contract
Break Evens: 146.90/161.10 (Wide of expected move, both sides)
Delta: .37
Theta: 6.08
Notes: The strikes were pesky on the call side. It was either go five-wide or 2 1/2 wide on the call side. I opted for going narrower, as long as I could keep my break evens outside the expected move. Will look to take profit at 50% max.
