Lol, thanks for your patience. I'm working late tonight studying all this.
You can always trade out of hours!
No out of hours in options my friend... unfortunately...
Just a quick reflection on why I would trade this way.
The long straddle vs short strangle is to gain from a move with the straddle and gain from drop in IV when it reaches the strangle.
The front month vols will collapse after the earnings to under the back months... so definately below 19... likely below 16 even. And the fact trading is less active around Christmas/New Years with less days to trade, the month most affected by this will trade even lower.. probably at say a 20% discount... so maybe even 13 or 14 IV.
Biggest risk is no move at all... which means the straddle will be around $5 after the Jan-20 IV drops to say 17. But that Jan-06 strangle will be almost worthless, so the loss at that point could be 0.60
A very large move to say 104 means straddle = 20 and strangle = 10. So a profit of about $5..
move to 144 means straddle = 20 strangle = 12, profit $8
Small move to 114: straddle = 10, strangle about 1.50... also gain...
The safest bet on earning IMO is long a straddle with a short strangle...
PS. So basically, I'm saying I'm an idiot for not doing this trade

... but thanks for the info
