Trade Alert: Buying The Dip

Bullish options trades on three of our top ten names from last night's list. Plus, a contrarian bank bet.

Four Financed-Upside Setups

We’re putting on three options structures today drawn from Portfolio Armor’s Top Names (both appeared in last night’s list). If you’re new here, that list has a strong long-term record—see the running results on our performance page.

Why these three

• Theme fit & catalysts: One is a global financial with an earnings print in early December; the other two are high-beta infrastructure/software names with persistent demand tailwinds and lively IV.

• Playbook match: In all three, options price high enough that we can harvest near-term implied volatility to lower our net cost and push break-evens down, while keeping defined downside on the floor.

SOP You’ll See Us Apply

• Enter as one complex order, up to our limits—no chasing.

• Enter GTC exit orders on day one, so we don’t have to babysit these positions.

• Sizing: keep defined risk roughly within our usual per-trade budget.

A Bonus, Contrarian Bank Bet

With regional banks taking a tumble yesterday, we’re going to enter a bullish bet on one of them, priced to fill only if the stock falls further toward support before earnings. If it does, I like the risk-reward there; if it doesn’t, we pass on the trade. No need to chase it.
