Equinix Inc (EQIX) beat earnings again last month and continues to ride the ascending trendline up after putting in a new high.  OBV confirms that money is flowing back into the stock.  Wanted to keep the short strike under the July lows at 160 but there wasn't enough premium.  As it is the 165 strike is almost 4 ATRs away.

Currently an 89% probability of max profit on this one.  I may condor these if the stock runs into resistance at some point, but will not be in a rush to do so.
