  • 1)i think you mean 20s strike not 20 deltas
    2) “upside” calls – why not call them upside stocks since people buy them hoping they’ll go up
    3) long term calls – i don’t there is such a thing – they used to call them LEAPS but i haven’t seen that term used lately
    4) i would say definately a sale since they were traded at such a low price.
    5) thanks for publishing these!

    • Hello, thank you for reaching out. The calls were a 20 deltas at the time of the trade – they are the 20 strike as well. We have passed your other feedback to the appropriate team. We hope you continue to enjoy Traders’ Insight!
