Reasoning: We entered this trade expecting a max return of 7% in a month's time but we're already up about 5%. So, with earnings due out tomorrow morning, we're going to see if we can close out the trade here for nice profit in under a week. $5.65 per contact is the mid of the spread, so we may or may not get filled. If you want to increase your chances of getting filled, sell at $5.60. If we don't get filled today, we'll allow the trade to continue on.
