Tech Alert – (CRWD) June 26, 2025 – TAKE PROFITS – SELL

When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

This was a short-term trade in cybersecurity company CrowdStrike (CRWD), which is in the hot sector, aided by macroeconomic volatility.

Dip buyers were out in full force, and I really like this one moving forward.

We have now taken all of our profits from the cybersecurity trades, and each one was highly profitable.

This was a good risk-reward balance with a 30-day time horizon.

Here are the specific trades you need to exit this position:

Sell to Close 12 July 2025 (CRWD) $440 calls at……….…$68.50

Buy to Close 12 July 2025 (CRWD) $450 calls at………….$59.05

Net Proceeds:……………………..…….………..…………………….$9.45

Profit: $9.45 – $8.30 = $1.15

(12 X 100 X $1.15) = $1,380 or 13.86%

 

 

 

 

If you are uncertain on how to execute an options spread, please watch my training video by clicking here.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.

Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
