Options Idea: Sell The JD Oct 16 2020 62.5 Put @ $1.03

21 באוג׳ 2020

JD has been in an ascending parallel channel since the COVID-19 peak in March and shows no sign of slowing down. I sold an October 16 2020 62.5 Put @ 1.03 near the bottom of the channel today with the idea that the uptrend will continue over the next couple months. This is one of China's biggest e-retailers and its been having a great time with extra sales due to the pandemic. Don't see any reason why that should stop anytime soon.

An alternative idea for a more aggressive trade would be to sell the $70 Put for a much larger credit. The $70 Put will be just below the bottom of the channel on the Oct 16 expiration.

Closed this out @ $0.50 on 8/25/2020. JD went parabolic, crashing upwards, moving outside of the 3 standard deviation projection. Anytime I get a chance to take a 50% profit after just a couple days in a trade, I'll do that.

Here's the final stats for this trade:
