TRADE IDEA: DBA APRIL 20TH 18/20 LONG CALL VERTICAL
Metrics:
Probability of Profit: 38%
Max Profit: $140/contract
Max Loss: $60 contract
Break Even: 18.60

No one wanted to fill me at .60 for the 18/20, so went with the 17/19 instead (which appeared to be a little more liquid). Filled for a 1.18/contract db with a coin flip probability of profit at 49%, a max profit of .82/contract and a break even of 18.18.
