Trade of the Day: Qualcomm September $55/$60/$65 call butterfly spread

The Trade
Trader executed the September $55/$60/$65 call butterfly spread 5,000x for a debit of $.39, $195,000 total. Maximum risk is equal to the total debit. Profit potential is limited to $2,305,000.



Currently, the position is positive gamma as it is looking for a big move to help shares settle slightly above $55 and below $65. Moreover, passage of time, or theta, will lower the value of the spread.



The daily chart above depicts the profit zone for the spread. A retest of yearly highs near $60 is the optimal scenario.
