The Trade
A trader bought the September $52.50 call and sold the September $45 put 3,600X at $0.01 debit, $21,600 total. Risk is limited to the total debit of $21,600. Profit potential is unlimited.
It seems that this investor is looking for lows near $47 to hold as a possible double bottom and for a nearly $3 bounce to the upside to break even. The daily chart below depicts the possible double bottom formation and a horizontal line that indicates the $52.50 break even point for the trade.
