BABA iron condor

Wow.
Sad.
I have no idea who shit in your Post Toasties, but it wasn't me.
My post was intended to be helpful, in offering another view -- which presumably is why you posted. If that's a mistake on my part, then take your reason-to-post, and your bile, and shove them directly up your ass. It's not needed by anyone else.
So! (And truly,...)
Peace out.
You said "what happens when stock drops 16% tomorrow". On what foundation you base your prediction. Obviously it did come true. Just like i would say, something will fall on you head tomorrow, what are you going to do...

Whats your reasoning for this trade? How profitable is this trade in the long run? selling this condor because its super wide does not support a good trade. Since you think stat vol will be low over the course of this trade ("BABA won't move 20% in 3 months"), do you have an exit strategy when BABA does move 20% after this earnings? Just somethings to think about. good luck

Making money is a good trade! you have an appropriate handle lol
 
The reason: the next 2-3 months, the underlying will move with in it's historical range. Standard iron condor mitigation is in play. If you're concerned with stock price spiking down 16%, you don't understand iron condor, fyi the call side will increase, and visa versa. Ever heard of retracement?
It's a simple ic strategy we all should master.

Why didn't you buy a wide butterfly then and delta hedge? The risk reward is much better and you sell all that expensive Vega you are talking about.
