Trade Reasoning
The current stock price of COST at $998.86 is very close to the lower strike of $995, providing an ideal entry point for a Bull Call Spread. This setup capitalizes on the potential for a price increase above $995 while minimizing risk through the sale of the higher strike call at $1000. The ATM spread structure allows for an attractive risk/reward profile, as the trade can deliver a strong return with limited downside exposure, aligning perfectly with Maya's strategy to target a high ROI. Maya's edge comes from disciplined trade management—knowing when to exit is just as important as when to enter.
