Trade approach: Reaching a new 52-week high is a bullish indicator, so this trade is designed to be profitable if PEP maintains its current direction and does not revert back to pricing on the bearish side of $140.40 on 7-Feb-2020. If possible, the trade has been padded such that slight movement against the trade would still return a profit.
