    UPDATE


    • BABA at $106.07
    • The BABA Nov07 107.00 call position is still open.
    • I didn't get the post-earnings jump I expected so I will see what happens during the next 3 days.

    Stay tuned.

  8. bout 103/104 debit call spread. has about 40% chance of success. net return 0.70%.

    I don't like debit spreads, the short option is like having a piano tied to your back. If you want to lower the risk/cost of your position it's better to move up the long position 1-strike or so. In your example buy the 104 call instead of a 103C/104C debit spread.
