OPENING: PBR OCT/DEC 11/10 COVERED LONG COMBO
... for a .58/contract credit.
Max Profit on Setup: $158/contract (the width of the spread plus the credit received)
Max Loss on Setup: $958 (assuming you do nothing and the underlying goes to zero)
Break Even: 9.42
Delta: 47.77
Theta: .62
Notes: A small buying power effect, cost basis reduction setup in a high implied volatility petro underlying battered by negative emerging market sentiment, and, well, everything else that's recently been wrong with Brazil. I have a good-'til-cancelled order in to take profit at 50% the width of the spread, but we'll see how it goes ... . Went out a little farther out in time that I usually like to go to get a break even I'm comfortable with.

Trade closed manually:
Was shooting for 50% of the width of the spread, but taking this off here for a .10 db/contract on this pop rates as "close enough" particularly when there's 90 odd days to go in the short call; .48 ($48)/contract winner.
