Stop 331.89
After I got into this, the combination of the spread,the way it was moving (maybe I hadn't fully accepted how a $332 stock moved), and that it was a 33k position, made me feel uncomfortable so I closed it early.
Before I bot the stock,I tried to buy the 330 calls, but the spread was wide,I didn't want to pay the ask, and didn't get filled between the mid and ask (mid= price between bid and ask)

You had it, but yeah you definitely have to stomach the pain when trading these large cap stocks as the spread does get wild.

I get very nervous with large spreads and would've bailed out too.
