Trade Alert – (AAPL) September 3, 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.

Closing Trade

expiration date: September 19, 2025

Number of Contracts = 23 contracts

After the stock had been beaten down quite a bit this year, AAPL has roared higher in the short term.

AAPL stock is up over 3% this morning because of Fed governors talking up rate cuts.

The market is expecting the Fed to cut multiple times, and in the short term, this is extremely bullish for big tech.

This is a run of multiple bullish positions I have taken profits on.

Well done, and on to the next trade.

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

Net Proceeds:……………………..…….………..……………………………$4.95

Profit: $4.95 – $4.35= $.60

(23 X 100 X $.60) = $1,380 or 13.80%

 

 

 

If you are uncertain about 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.
