Pre-earnings vol plays

Only with SLs and provided there is enough in skew and term structure to make it possible.

 

I love these trades but not finding a lot of them. And I usually use 1:2 ratio.

About ADBE trade. You are shorting 26 pre report vols and long 50 + post report?

 

Without being able to automate the search process via software these deals are just capricious excursions for hobbyists.

 

Thanks, still a lot to learn on my side

 

yes

 

what’s the point of being short the front expy. It’s like 25 vol.

 

I don't know how to structure better. Hoping that I will gain more (or lose less) on front than on back

 

Update Trade 1 - ADBE, 85.37 debit:
