Opened CIEN bull call spread

I've opened a bull call spread position on CIEN. The options trade for the last time on May 21.

CIEN showed a parabolic sar bull signal today, in line with a long-running trend. I  analyzed the stock earlier today.

The spread is structured as long the $18-strike call, and short the $19-strike call.I entered the position for a 43¢ premium debit.


The stock was trading at $18.12 at the time the order was executed. The position will break even at $18.42, the maximum profit is 58¢ per share, and the maximum loss is 42¢ per share.

Options as a Strategic Investment

Options as a Strategic Investment is a one-stop source of practical information, clearly presented, about the the trader's most important tool for managing risk. This book occupies an important place on my desk.
