Options Trade of the Week
Last week, Wall Street Wiretapper, our Unusual Options Activity scanner, powered by a neural network, started to get hits on $BBAI.
You can see the trading behavior below – starting on February 24th and continuing until yesterday, March 3rd.
Notice the Volume compared to the Options Volume 20D Average?
All the action looks to be on the calls, rather than the puts.
Additionally, notice how the “Implied Vol Change” column is net way higher from when these trades started on 02/24?
This was clear that someone was making a big bet on $BBAI.
We shared a straightforward trade idea with Wall Street Wiretapper members in our Monday briefing. The trade was to consider buying the $7.5 calls in March for < $.25. Traders who want to risk money on this trade can risk $25 for every 1 call they purchase.
Rocky (below) purchased 30 of the $7.5 calls for only $.15.
The risk in this trade is limited to your original investment. Rocky can never lose more than $450 on this trade (30*15= $450).
As you can see below, Rocky decided to cover his options for $.45, or $1350. This locks in $900 worth of profit in 2 days, with only $450 of risk.
Great Trade, Rocky!
