Rolling down the call side of this condor for a net credit of $0.19 per lot. Currently an 89% probability of max
profit on this adjusted leg. 79% probability of the total condor.
Planning on moving up the put side too eventually. Would like to go to 405 but the probability is too low at the moment.

Mastercard (MA) has started the next leg up after its May selloff. With this one I'm keeping the put strike right at the May lows, and below the 200-day moving average. The call side is above the April highs, and both strikes are well outside the contracting Bollinger bands.
Currently a 90% probability of max
profit on both legs of the trade.

Sold MA Sept 12 395/390 bull put spreads for ($2.05-$1.59) x 100 x 5 lots = $230 credit received
Sold MA Sept 12 465/470 bear call spreads for ($1.38-$1.03) x 100 x 5 lots = $175 credit received
