Trade of the Day: Bank of America August $13/$10 bull risk reversal

The Trade:
A trader put on a bull risk reversal using the August $13/$10 options for a 1 cent credit, 4,700x.

Risk/Reward:
The trader is making a bullish bet that Bank of America is at or near its lows, and will start to rally. BAC was trading near $11.50 when the trade was executed, which is exactly in between the $10 and $13 strikes. The spread is short puts and long calls and therefore has unlimited risk to zero and unlimited profit potential. However, the trader collects $4,700 for the trade and doesn't start to lose money until BAC drops below $10. If both options expire worthless by August expiration, the trader keeps the credit.

The two white lines in the weekly BAC chart are $11 and $18. You can see that the trader possibly views the $11 as a support level and a bottom, and will therefore make a push toward the upper end of the range.
