Risk: $43 per 1 lot
Reward: Unlimited

This trade more than doubled in value over the course of an hour. If a trader would have bought a 20 lot of these options they would have seen profits of $1,240 at the highs on $860 in risk. This is another great example of hugely profitable weekly unusual options activity.
