Wanted to short this earlier this week when we were at 3 ATR above the 21 EMA. LRCX ended up continuing to run for so long and we started the day with LRCX at 5 ATR above the 21 EMA, extremely extended. Finally got some sell-off today and I was definitely late to the party since Tastyworks did not let me load any options chains for about 15 minutes, so I left my desk. Came back and LRCX was looking like it had more downside, especially with /ES still very weak.
Sized in on next week's 500 puts ATM in case we had a pop and ended up locking it up when we started to base and secured a nice return. R/R for the whole move using this week's $480 puts would have been around 300% - 400%.
