PYPL PayPal Holdings Options Ahead of EarningsPYPL had some events in the past 2 years that determined its price action. Went down after its CFO left for Walmart: Had a technical rebound buy opportunity after reaching the 2017 support: and determined a lot of users leaving their platform after announcing a $2.5K fine for spreading misinformation: Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of PYPL PayPal Holdings prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 60usd strike price Calls with an expiration date of 2024-6-21, for a premium of approximately $8.20. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

PURPLE (PRPL) may be in the process of reversal.PURPLE, yes the mattress company, has bee getting hammered for a while now. Their stock price was mile higher than it is now, but it looks like the bottom may just be in. And, it's gone down so much, compared to what it used to be, that the risk involved in investing, or trading it has decreased as well. Keep in mind that this company is extremely subject to interest rates, and interest hikes/cuts. This would probably be a good play for some mid to longer term options plays. Just make sure there's open interest in the strike if you do buy one, as liquidity is key to options trading. Good luck, and always use a stop.

📊 Earnings Edge: Diagonal Debit Dynamics - #2 Trade in 20242024 Trading Challenge Entry #2: Diary of an Option Trader 💡 Trade Overview: I noticed LLY soaring on the TradingView stock heatmap today. Observing the monthly chart of AMEX:XLE (healthcare sector), it has been mostly sideways for years. However, in the past two days, NYSE:LLY has demonstrated strong bullish movement with increasing volume, indicating a potential uptrend. I strategized to profit from a possible breakout or continued trend within an ascending triangle pattern. 📊 Option Strategy choice: Given the high IVR of 42 and an upcoming earnings report on February 6th before market, I anticipate further price rise. I pondered various strategies: Single leg call: Not preferable due to increasing breakeven with time. Naked put/credit vertical spread: Not ideal close to earnings, expecting IVR increase. OTM calendar: Avoided due to back month’s illiquidity. ATM calendar: Lower upper breakeven point was a concern. Noticing that IV was higher for the front-month compared to the back-month, likely due to the nearing earnings, I decided a diagonal put debit strategy was ideal to allow significant upside potential while benefiting from minor retracements as time progresses and speculating on an IVR increase. 📊 Diagonal put debit Position Legs: Chosen structure and execution details: Buy LLY Mar 15, 2024, 600.00 PUT at 27.48 (Quantity: 1) Sell LLY Feb 16, 2024, 610.00 PUT at 26.57 (Quantity: 1) Trade Details & Key Metrics: Symbol : LLY Date/Time : 2024-01-03 15:00 POP : 54% Required Buying Power ( Req.BP ): $1090 IVR : 44 Price : buying for $0.91 debit Front month leg : February 16 @610 x 1 PUT Back month leg : March 15 @600 x -1 PUT 📈 My Risk Tolerance: For the 2024 trading challenge (goal: FWB:12K to $30k), I’m limiting floating losses to 1.5% per position, thus not tolerating more than a $175 loss. This threshold is approximately around a 590 strike price. While I’m comfortable with a considerable upside range, the upper breakeven at front month expiration is around a 711 strike, increasing to 760 at 21 DTE. 🎯 My Profit Target: I’m aiming for about 2x the allowed loss, approximately around $300, but will consider taking profits if the price approaches the optimal equity curve point near a 650 strike. Realizing profits is always the more gratifying part of trading! ANYWAY: HIT THE 🚀 BUTTON ABOVE! This trade is part of my 2024 option trading challenge , where I aim to turn a 12k account above $30K 💰 (details in signature and my profile page) .
