The gains for this transaction were $2.30/contract or 209.1%. This trade went exactly as planned. There exists the possibility that these contracts will continue to run higher, but the odds were not great enough that it was worth violating my exit plan. The underlying stock touched above $58 today, which as I explained in the purchase piece was where I thought it would go. The stock has made quite the run over the last couple of days becoming a little over-extended. The greater probability over the next couple of days is for sideways, possibly corrective price movement. Given the time-sensitive nature of options, the time to exit was now.
I would rate myself 9/10 on this particular trade. I followed my position sizing guidelines and obeyed my risk rules. I had sound reasoning for my entry and nailed the exit. There is a small chance that I left money on the table, however I am completely satisfied with a three-bagger.
