The August 55 weekly call was offered on Wednesday at $1.65 and the August 55 weekly put was also offered at $1.65. This trade would cost $3.30 and that is around six percent of the underlying. The breakevens for the trade would be at $51.70 and $58.30.

The stock has not participated in the NASDAQ's rally and if the company raises guidance on Thursday, Nathan thinks that it could trade sharply higher.

Salesforce gained 0.78 percent Wednesday and closed at $55.39.
