Analysis

NOW (ServiceNow, Inc. Common Stock): $313K of buyer-initiated unusual call flow (100% call-dominant), IV rank 40 (moderate). Our gamma model reads NOW in a NEGATIVE-gamma regime (net GEX 1.7M, flip 115.95) — dealers are short gamma and amplify moves, so this is defined-risk only and leans with the flow. Structured as a Broken-Wing Bull Put (sell $104P / buy $102P) expiring 2026-11-20 (21 DTE) — negative-gamma (trend/gap risk) → defined-risk broken-wing leaning with flow. Net credit $85, max loss $115 (defined risk). Breakevens $103.15.

Setup Instructions

Underlying: NOW @ ~$105.00 | 2026-11-20 (21 DTE) | Net credit (entry): ~$85 per spread. Use limit orders at the mid or slightly better.

Management Plan

ENTRY: Put on the broken-wing put spread: sell the $104 put, buy the further-OTM $102 put with a WIDER gap on the far wing, expiring 2026-11-20 (21 DTE), as one order at a LIMIT of the mid or better — target net credit $85. IV rank 40 is moderate — credit is workable but define risk and don't oversize. The skew removes upside risk while collecting a credit; the downside gap is the residual max loss ($115). | TAKE PROFIT: Buy it back to LOCK IN gains at ~50% of the $85 credit. Also close on TIME: exit around 21 DTE regardless of P&L to sidestep the late-cycle gamma/pin risk near NOW's short strike(s) — currently 21 DTE, so plan the exit 0 day(s) out. Above $104 the whole credit is yours — take profits, don't carry the tail into expiration. Breakeven $103.15. | IF TESTED: The risk is a hard drop into the wide wing. When NOW tests the $104 short put (delta ~0.30) or loss ≈$170, roll the structure DOWN and OUT ~7–14 days for a credit, or buy an extra long put to square the wing back into a symmetric (fully defined) spread. Treat a close below the $110 put wall as the hard trigger to act (the pin support has failed). dealer gamma is NEGATIVE (vol-amplifying) — moves accelerate here, so defend one trigger EARLIER than usual and don't wait for the strike to go in-the-money; put wall (support) at $110; call wall (resistance) at $120. If price reaches the $102 wing, you're at max loss ($115) — take it. | MAXIMIZE: Holding above $104? Let theta collect the full credit. Once most is banked, roll up toward the money next cycle for a richer credit, or convert into an iron condor by adding a call spread if the flow turns two-sided.
