OP perceives some pricing advantage to the trade. SPY goes ex-div. on Sept. 18. The div. payout for the short shares should be over 1.00.
Nice trade. Great timing.
Correction 555/557.5 bull call spread. Basis net of costs(215-155)x2=120. R/R = 120/380. IMO, FF your timing is good, got a shot at this one....
Sold 2 157.5 @ 1.55:mad:
Back in long 2 255C @ 2.15
Comms at IB 1st 2 contracts @ 1.58 2nd 2 @ 1.59 =3.17. Comms on exit buy back shorts @ 1.58 sell longs @ .09 (go figure) Total comms 4.84
I'm out +40 gross. Keep an eye on it. Better opps down the road.
Costs thus far $3.17. Will try to box out if given the opp. FF, your spec may very well outperform, but this is the way I trade.
short 2 560C @ 1.20 R/R 60/440 net of costs
long 2 557.5C @ 1.50
Looks like a good week for the spec.
Nice going, OP.:)

You do realize that this is a discussion based on the parameters posed in the OP? It is not an actual trade. What the realized prices (fills) and...
OK, I'm putting down the crack pipe while posting. The idea was good, but the examples were pure crap. So, let's try BABA Dec. 20 (2 weeks)...
So, yeah using BABA - no div. - at 107.90. Dec. 20 expiry. Sell 104/105 call credit spread for +.65. Buy 3 117/118 call debit spreads 3x.10=.30...
Ach, donnap. Bad example. The div's going to wreak havoc on that trade, except at max. loss. I gotta go out now, but could post a better...
