1. I have 4-19 BMO but I will check with other sources. 2. Yes, just a bit rich, hence, the hedge. As the time passes, I will slowly cover the short position and increase the reporting one. The first qtr is over, so I am a bit bored, lol, and this trade looks like the best available for the...

looking at hedged trade: Long PG 25D/Short PG 18D 2:1 ratio

Do we have "Ignore all threads started by ........." functionality?

NKE gained > 1$ and FDX almost 3$ I just wish I had a larger position...

as expected, reporting vols are up from yesterday's lows in my positions (NKE and FDX). Very nice profit so far. I just cannot understand WHY people (both MM's and retail?) sold reporting vols on FED announcement. It did not cancel the judgment day (today AC) :)

I couldn't ever figure out how to hedge with index vols. I do take hedged potion from time to time by shorting none reporting week: Long reporting 14D / short 7D, ratioed Works well usually.

Yep, that's explain it. I still entered 2 positions that reporting tomorrow. Volatility is slowly recovering/stop falling further now. Let's see how this plays out tomorrow.

Stunning dump of vols for reporting stocks in the last few hours... I truly don't remember if I ever saw it before.

16k TGT 185 calls at .16 cents while TGT price is 168 Probably an after-report lottery trade.

yes, it's a huge mover. Had it on my watch list but never placed a trade... Shame, it was a "risk free" trade since the rolling ATM straddle is the same today as it was last Monday. Maybe next time.

almost 7$ gain on the straddle... Probably my last post on this strategy since folks here are not so interested in earnings trades. Good luck everyone!

9.5% move, so big loss if you were long overnight. Unless...Stock did crash as much as 22% right after report for a few minutes, so it was an opportunity to short the stock for a great gain.

I closed most of the position yesterday and some today. I think the rump is overdone, but who knows. Looks like 16% move is just to break even (if long). We will find out after 4:00

No change in stocks price...but both Put and Call are UP :) I LOVE this game!

Movers keep on moving... SNAP (no position): down 30% after hours. FTNT (no position): up 15% Let's see what RBLX (closed with profit on vols rump and scalping) does tomorrow morning.

I see how this can be confusing, my bad. I was long (as always) pre report vola rump and was planning to exist before the report (as I almost always do). Had a good profit and existed few days before report. I was lucky not to hold it in the last 2 days before the report when vols crashed...

I closed my position at 7.5% Monday or last Friday. Was tempting to keep it and wait for 8.5-9.0 and I am glad I didn't!! I think at 9% the R/R would be solid...but NEVER at 6%!

stunning drop in vols in the last 2 days. Some sold at 6.1% ATM straddles on stock that moved 24% few qtrs ago. And guess what...up 12% in after hours.
