Reasoning: Thanks to a decent move in the stock + an increase in volatility, we're already up 8% on the trade. We're going to attempt to close out the trade now and lock in a nice, quick gain. We're using a day order, so that if we don't get filled at our price today, we have a chance of closing the trade for more tomorrow in the event of a big earnings move.
