$DELL VERTICAL 251128 CALL 149.0/CALL 125.0$ 


This is one side of a iron butterfly I sold a day before DELLs earnings, to capitalize on the earnings vol crush. 

I bought very cheap 5 delta OTM hedges, 1 put and 2 calls, just in case to protect against outlier moves.

      that's why two OTM call options were bought to hedge against outlier moves

    Isn’t 2-call hedges overkill vs. a single put for downside?

      Unless DELL flopped earnings, the assumption was that any downside moves were likely to be overreactions which would mean revert, but a positive earnings surprise might send the stock flying permanently.

      Thus the overhedging on the call side instead of the put side. 🙏
