Technicals
Technical strength in DG is seen best via correlation when looking at growth stocks and US equity indices. As well, the stock appears to have recently broken above a bullish flag pattern, climbing above the 50-day moving average in the process. DG ended the past week holding support near 109 and shows further support from a strong confluence found just above 107.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for DG, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, at least a little bit.
Buy To Open DG 23NOV18 105 Puts (DG181123P105)
Sell To Open DG 23NOV18 110 Puts (DG181123P110) for a credit of $1.75 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when DG was trading near $110. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
Your commission on this trade will only be $2.50 per spread (the rate charged by thinkorswim for Terry’s Tips’ subscribers). Each contract would then yield $172.50 and your broker would charge a $500 maintenance fee, making your investment $327.50 ($500 – $172.50). If DG closes at any price above $110 on November 23, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 53% (605% annualized).
