still studying RXSD.
it's interesting that stk has declined since announcing the split.
it's just starting to pull away from top BB now.
i think there's an emotional fight going on between the oversold condition to pull stk down and the split announcement to drive stk up.

anyway, here's my play.

buy nov30pp @ .5 (protective put)
sell nov40np @ 2-7/8 (naked put)
net credit 2-3/8

buy nov40c @5-3/8
apply above credit - net cost 3
current stk @ 41-3/4...1-3/4 ITM
therefore netnet time value cost 1-1/4

risk: if stk closes nov. between 30-40, you are put stk at 40.
if stk below 30, you reach max risk since you have protective put @30.

reward: if stk closes nov. above 41-1/4, you are starting to make money.

of course, double number of shares and 1/2 your per share price based on split oct.23.
therefore, risk between 15-20 and profit above 20-5/8 after split.

cheers,
jim.
