Trade Rationale

This is another post-earnings trade which is slightly different from my usual post-earnings trades. Sometimes, a stock will have a run-up before earnings for no reason. Leaked news? Insider Trading? It is anyone's guess. What I am looking for is pullbacks to previously established support after earnings. That is exactly what happened with ROKU. Earnings weren't as bad as expected and ROKU still pulled back nicely to a previous support at $150. This gave us an opportunity to get in on a $150-$155 Bull Call Spread.
