Did my first earning trade today- JPM Double Calendar.

These are dumb.

The switch value generally will not compensate for the loss to the back vol. You’re also not compensated for modality (dot shots beyond a strike). Post event vols typically hit bottom decile.

I mean it’s obvious that nobody thought of trying to monetize the D1/D2 switch edge (sarcasm). The only decent result is a (near) pin to one of the calendar strikes.
