If the trader thinks the underlying will.... ..... move up or down after earnings - but not enough to justify the premium on the near dated options. And ..... ..... continue momentum into the following weeks.

Yes ...... I assume Baron was doing some maintenance.

Sell high - Buy lower

Volume is a moot point and not important. Options traders want volatility - and the markets are volatile year round.

The credit is $1900. But if the stock closes at $110 on expiry day you are short the 125 puts - which are ITM by $15.00. Buy-to-close the puts for $1500.00. Without taking into account bid/ask spread or commissions. $1900 - $1500 = $400 net profit.

Wouldn't that be hilarious if BAC rallied to $29.01 while Vanzandt is asleep at the wheel. His calls are auto-exercised. BAC falls on Monday. He doesn't have the margin to cover the shares so the position is liquidated at a loss. He gets kicked twice while he is down.

That's one of the strategies that CML Viz covers in their video. Except for waiting for the stock to pull back - which I don't think would be a good idea. With earnings upon us now is a good time to buy OTM calls: GOOGL FB AMZN AAPL NFLX TSLA QQQ 1 trillion dollar market cap - will one of...

For some reason the CML Viz video that Robert is trying to share can't be shared on ET. This video from CML Viz explains their strategy - for $130.00 a month it might be worth looking into.

Buy high ..... sell higher. Sell low ..... buy lower.

Your OP appears to be straddles/strangles versus long calls before earnings. My reply is to go with long calls only - or puts. You can exit before earnings or after.

Very few people on this site like strangles/straddles. For directional trades you are better off with long calls or puts - not strangles/straddles.

Just what you are prepared to lose. The debit is your "stop-loss".

OTM calls or puts only - no straddles.

Yes .......... And perhaps close them after earnings - for that extra kick.

Good observation ..... I was assuming the strikes are equal distance.

Could you post more info?
