Winner: 83.27% Gain On RKT Calls
Summary
- Bought the RKT 19MAR21 20 call options on Dec 30 and Jan 20 for an average cost of $2.51.
- Sold the calls on Jan 25 at $4.60 for a gain of 83.27% on the trade.
- 6% portfolio allocation.
I initially bought the RKT calls on Dec 30 on what appeared to be a bullish breakout above the $21.00 level - turned out to be a false signal - I then added to the calls on Jan 20 when the shares held at the $19.50 support level and the momentum bars were moving higher, pointing to a bullish turn.
Sold the calls on Jan 25 when the shares spiked up 18% to $24.00 on a drop in interest rates which sparked a short-covering rally on the stock - in this case, patience was rewarded.
