| WHY I OPENED this CCW on > SQ > Square (SQ) does not have any earnings and does not have a Ex-Div date happening so what we're going to do is this we're going to use not this resistance line of $60.50 we're going to use what could be the next line of resistance which would be the $65.00 strike I gave myself another dollar for buffer because remember my stock cost basis is $74.60 so I cannot have my shares taken away at $66.00 or I lose money so I'm going to put the strike price out there and this Delta is about 10, so I believe I can manage this trade if this strike price is challenged> as always, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself. | |||||||||
| WHATS THE CASH ON CASH PERCENTAGE GAIN | |||||||||
| NOTE: This is a Premium only trade (for the most part) because if my shares are taken/assigned I will not make anything on the stock sale. | |||||||||
