If I were going to trade a strategy like this, I would look at hundreds of derivations including looking at IV levels and technical levels. All can be tested in our platform. We backest on snapshots 14 minutes before the close back to 2007.

option data?
Here's a sample zipped for the near EOD we offer (with a good ET discount in my signature)
http://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.orats.com/ORATS_SMV_Strikes_20201217.zip

We also have a 1-minute snapshot available back to Aug 2020 or a 2-minute raw back to 2015.
The best is our 1-minute API that allows you to get only what you want. You can drill down to request current and historical information on an option's OPRA. Email me for a discount.
Here's our API console to see sample requests free: https://dashboard.orats.com/api-console

Matt, Is there a way to get a conservative estimate of yield on a simple buy calls trade based
on the two entries and exits shown on this chart?
