and how much profit do you have if it is at 115!!!! very bearish... IF you bought and sold equal number of calls... sell 10 at 15 buy 5 at 5 1/2 buy 5 at 8 or buy 10 at 8 7 points made...3 points risk buy 10 at 5 1/2... 9 1/2 made but 5.5 at risk how do you know they bought twice as many calls ... but lets say they did... lets use your scenario sell 10 at 15 =15000 buy 10 at 5 1/2= 5500 buy 10 at 8 = 8000 you could make 1.5 if the tbr is at 115 or lower... or you can make 2 or more IF it is OVER 138 (this is from you..I didnt bother to check that).... a VERY BULLISH scenario TO ME is selling puts and buying calls.... your above scenario is more of a hedge and money can be made EITHER way.... but this is an interesting case to try to decipher plans and different spreads...by looking at TBR...
