BIDU - strong, but struggling with 201.00 USD area...Wait until this area beneath 201.00 USD is cleared. We will either see a decisive push above this level, or - if the general market is in " sell-in-May-go-away " mode - a break lower ( watch 180.00 USD ).

BOUGHT TO CLOSE BIDU MAR 18TH 152.5/157.5/180/185 IRON CONDORClosed this setup at 50% max profit (for the rolled setup) ($62.58/contract).
It doesn't entirely make up for my early bobble of BIDU's earnings announcement date (first they said it was 2/10; then it was 2/25), but I'll take it here going into Draghi/FOMC.
Here's the entire chain:
2/25 Sold March 8th 132/137/177.5/182.5 iron condor for a $131 credit
2/26 Bought the 132/137 short put vert back for a $9 debit (post earnings announcement; near worthless)
2/29 Rolled the 177.5/182.5 short call vert to the March 18th 180/185 short call vertical for a $17 credit (price too close to short call strike with limited DTE)
2/29 Sold the March 18th 152.5/157.5 short put vertical for a $48 credit (this wasn't strictly necessary, since I received a credit for the roll of the short call side; I just wanted some protection there if price continued to shoot off into the ether).
3/9 Bought to close the March 18th 152.5/157.5/180/185 Iron Condor for a $106 debit.
Total credits minus total debits minus fees and commissions = $62.58/contract, not quite 50% max profit of the original setup, but close enough considering that I had to roll and that it was supposed to be one of those ideal "inzee/outzee" earnings plays ... .
Baidu - Swiss cheeseGot my bear boots on this week and Baidu has a heap of holes to fill.
Waiting on how we react into the bear trend line to set up a short... TP144
BIDUGot very "Depressed". Recovered nicely & had the expected pullback. On the move again here. KISS....
BIDU EARNINGS: MARCH 4TH 136/141/185/190 IRON CONDORBIDU announces earnings after tomorrow's close, so look to put a setup on in the waning hours of the NY sesh.
Now that I've got the earnings date correct (they previously "tentatively" announced a 2/10 earnings release -- sooooo annoying), here's the metrics for the setup:
BIDU Mar 4th 136/141/185/190 iron condor
Probability of Profit: 70%
Max Profit: $125/contract
Buying Power Effect: $375/contract
Notes: Naturally, you may need to tweak the setup given the underlying's price movement during the session ... .
