Davis, Either you have a monumental ability to create exponential growth out of an options-only IRA account, you've over-deposited beyond government allowed limits, or you're a troll. I am not judging... I would be working my options mojo all day if I were you. -K

it's hard to get past the idea that you're paying them for this opportunity... I posit that the cons seem to outweigh the pros. just my humble opinion. -k

LIZ and JNY came up with that name on a whim I think... -K

Yes. Provided the prices are good for entry, I'll let you know how that works out this quarter. I keep my sizing small for my small account and don't participate in some of these pricier deals. I'll look into the strategy above, thanks for the tip! I should have probably held on to ADBE longer...

I am having luck doing both: selling options that expire before earnings or at least reach my profit target shortly before earnings, and selling iron condors and other non-directional plays during earnings. I'm having hard time seeing how making the assumption that the rise in volatility before...

What do you think of this concept? I'll just tell you while I find it interesting, the BPR is high and this runs counterintuitive to everything I am hearing... which is why I'm curious. https://theoptionprophet.com/blog/the-best-option-play-for-earnings -K

what a nice Fucking willage.

please use : "in my willage" at least once. -K

yes, that worked out well. :) K

I winded up setting up a WSM iron condor: 47.5/50/57.5/60. BEPs around 49/58.5, WSM trading at 53.7o on close. IV not ideal, will have to see how price looks in AM. -Kev

thanks, yes I'm seeing $898/352 for same now, with ADBE at 218.18. Would be interesting to see where I actually get filled. Looking at CTRP today and WSM, both after-hours EA plays. I've been looking at iron condors, but will consider iron flies as well. Your scenario puts the BEPs at around...

This is what I expected. Thanks for confirming. -Kev

Understood. I wonder how to approach my entry when the earnings are announced after the close of earnings, as I believe ADBE will be on the 15th. Mid-day entry and exit the following AM after open? This is less clear. -Kev

shares "tumbled" on news and it remained within my range...

Roger that. Any thoughts on a slick exit? I'll likely cut out if I can first thing in AM, but may need to wait till dust settles... -Kev

Due to the better pricing you received at that time? The stock has moved one point since that time. Thanks, -Kev

It's certainly more of a gamble than my typical fare. -Kev

sounds fun! I am adjusting/closing/finalizing all other positions to avoid earnings and took this into account before they were opened. My questions was more specific to an earnings-only play. Thanks -Kev

Assuming I am going to make an earnings play: specifically a one-day Iron Condor for DKS overnight tonight, when should I time my entry? I assume some stuff can go down today and I should maybe wait until late in the day. I'm going shortest duration (4 DTE), slight bullish skew. Likely short...
