Pre-earnings vol plays

Long time reader, first time poster.
First of all, I would like to thank all the knowledgeable contributors, who make this forum great (neww, sle, MrMuppet, tao, Mav, Kevin Schmit, Magic, TBS, etc. Sorry if I missed any guru in the list)
Special thanks to B., I have read most of his posts (I am aware of 10 handles) and I hope that I absorbed at least 1% of his wisdom

I will post here pre-earnings vol switch trades (live IBKR PM account)

Trade 1 - ADBE, 85.37 debit

edit: please move to Journals

 

Hi Becky, does that include this one?

U...5...5

 

Agree that ADBE is a great candidate (no position yet).

What exactly is your position, if you don't mind answering?

 

You didn't guess my word yet? Its: Uropsilus



Edit: fwiw I think adobe could move too, I'm not banking on it though.

 

Nothing unusual, short pre-event vol, long post-event vol
BTW, thanks for your posts, I should have included you in the guru list as well

 

@Baron, OP would like this moved to Journals.

 

I assume that you're long some sort of term-structure so be careful on the post report reset.

 

Good luck. And reading all those posts is quite a feat!

 

Reported...

 

Sure, I will exit before, not planning to hold through the report. I would have structured differently if that was the case.
That reminds me, I think you mentioned once in the skew lock thread that you held a position through CPI. It confused me, because my understanding is that a skew lock is a long vol structure and the intention is to always exit before the event. But it seemed that you gained on both (pre-event and post-event). I can't wrap my head around it Or did I misinterpret?
