New Trade : CMG

Stock / Symbol: Chipotle Mexican Grill / CMG
Price at trade post: $433
Option Strategy: [private_monthly]iron condor[/private_monthly]

Reasoning: With CMG set to report earnings this evening, we're expecting at least a [private_monthly]5% move in either direction. We looked at playing a double butterfly (AprWk4 430/435/440 & 425/430/435) but didn't like the risk / reward ratio (risk $450 to make $50), so we decided on a debit iron condor. With this structure, we need just a 5% move down or 4% move up to reach full profitability. If we don't get much of a move, we'll close the trade tomorrow to limit losses.[/private_monthly]
