OPENED: PBR OCTOBER/AUGUST 6/9 LONG CALL VERTICAL
Back into PBR again after taking off my previous long call diagonal at near max yesterday.
Metrics:
Max Loss on Setup: $217/contract
Max Profit on Setup: $83/contract
Break Even: 8.17 versus 8.72 spot
Debit Paid to Spread Width Ratio: 72.3%
Notes: Still think this has some room to run here. Went out a little farther in time with the front month to bring in more credit. Implied still decent here at 65.6% 30-day; 62.0% in the August expiry. Initial take profit will be at or near max (i.e., 2.95 -- .05 short of 3.00 max). Will reduce cost basis further via roll of the short call if it doesn't hit by August expiry.

Rolled the 9 out to September on traverse of $9 for .17 (because I don't really trust this market all that much yet). :-). Scratch at 2.00.

And ... out for 2.45/contract here on this up move, a .45 ($45)/contract winner; 22.5% ROC as a function of scratch point.
