Hi Shoppers,

I am looking at the Draftkings (Ticker: DKNG) stock chart and I see a doji in Friday’s candle formation.

This could be signaling the end of this downtrend that started on Sept. 10 after trading a high of $64.50.

I am also seeing short term support at this level. DKNG closed on Friday at $51.33.

Looking at the options, I like the Oct. 15 expiration and I like the idea of a vertical spread to keep my initial outlay lower.

      • If DKNG opens and trades higher on Monday, I will buy the Oct. 15 52-strike calls with an implied volatility of 50.73 and sell the Oct.15 59 calls with a slightly higher IV of 51.13.
      • I would pay $1.75-$1.80 for the Oct.15 52/59 call spread. It has 21 days until expiration and it is seven points wide. I think DKNG can trade back up to $59.
      • I will take my losses if the spread trades down to about $1.20. I will begin profit taking around $2.90-$3.00.

 

If you haven’t already signed up for Mark’s Big Money event starting at 8 p.m. this Tuesday, do it now!

 

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday!
