Options trading volume on Wednesday in McDonald's was three times higher than the average daily options volume. When the stock was trading at $119.50 a trader bought 50,000 contracts of the January 2017 125 call options for $3.15. The breakeven for the trade is at $128.15 or approximately 7 percent higher from the closing price on Wednesday.

Nathan thinks it's a good idea to limit risk with calls because there is a risk of McDonald's trading lower to its breakout level from October 2015.
