To get some practice trading earnings, I put on a trade on the simulator account yesterday.
I bought 100s ISRG, sold 1 ATM call strike 350, and bought 1 ATM put strike 350 which both expired today. I lost around $150 due to the crappy bid ask spread.
I sold the 100s of ISRG for a loss of -$4,121
Covered the call I Sold for $1,818
Sold the Put I bought for $2,098
Overall on this trade I lost $205, which is really breakeven when you subtract commissions, because I had to pay up due to the large Bid/Ask spread on this thinly traded stock.
I also sold 10 calls at the 400 strike which expired today.
I obtained the max profit of $3,243 on this trade.
Here's the P/L from the trades-
