Khouw explained that there was one trade that tripled the open interest. He noticed a purchase of 5,000 contracts of the May 40/35 put spread for $1. The trade breaks even at $39 or 6.25 percent below the closing price on Tuesday. It can make a maximal profit of $4, if the stock drops 15.86 percent or lower at the May expiration.

BJ's Restaurants moves on average around 6.5 percent on earnings, said Khouw. He added that it dropped almost 9 percent last July, when it reported its 2Q earnings.
