Can you check my math?
Buy $114 calls at $1.15 with delta 0.50
25% stop on calls is $0.87 (1.15 x 0.25 = 0.28 and 1.15 - 0.28 = 0.87)
--correct
Stop on stock price $112.26 (.87/delta 0.50 = $1.74 move in price, therefore 114 - 1.74 = 112.26)
25% profit on calls $1.43 (1.15 + 0.28)
25% profit for stock price $116.86 (1.43/delta 0.50 = 2.86 move in stock price, therefore 114 + 2.86 = $116.86)
--So the stop on the option is .28 cents lower. A delta of .50 means that for every $1.00 the stock moves, the option will move .50 cents. So, if we only want the option to move .28 cents, then that would mean a .56 cent move in the stock price. .28 / .50 = .56 so, the stop on the stock would be ~113.44
--Profit of 25% is ~.28 cents higher on the option, so .28 / .50 = .56 so the target for the first sale would be ~$114.5
6.10 x .25 = 1.54
6.10 - 1.54 = 4.56
1.54 / .5
calc 2.81*.25
calc 2.81-70 = 2.11
calc 2.11/.45
calc 71.76-4.68
