Earnings trades

Nice going IV_Trader. This would make a good journal topic. Any chances you'll start one over there?

Quote from IV_Trader:

yes , both are up big (without any change iin stock's price)
Actually , its much higher now (1.10 for a call and 1.00 for a put) , I close to early , but one never knows...

yea, dont get greedy (you bought two options that went up, unreal), how about knowing when they were going to slate earnings? anything particular you use, could be an ignorant question but just wondering...thanks

it's kind of journal ... I guess . I don't see much interest from other posters on this subject.
Anyway , I will post more trades for the next week.
All report/IV related and NON directional

Got it, thanks
 
I think this topic has a lot of interest....just wait and see :)

Anyway, you can always get this thread moved over by the admins to the journals section at a later date if you decide to keep it up.

Congratulations again on success thus far.

What tools do you utilize for earnings calendars, IV etc.?

Hopefully , I will have a reverse calendar next week:

long Jan put ,atm
short Feb put ,atm

betting on big stock move and collapse in Feb vols
 
CVTX (paper trade only , too many unknown)

FDA hearing on 1/27 .
Feb vols at 85 , but at previous FDA event vols reached 120.

Buy CVTX (24.70)
Sell Jan 25c (0.45)
Buy Feb 25p(2.85)

At Jan exp close the cover call and buy FEB 25c .
Hopefully in the next four days stock won't move (stock is trading water for the last month in anticipation of big news) and FEB vols will continue to go up.
 
took reverse calendar on YHOO :

bought 40 Jan call (1.30)
sold 40 Feb put (2.00)
ratio 1:1

Very low (almost none) risk , but also limited possible gain .
Feb vols will collapse to mid-high 20th tomorrow
