The secret to buying pre earnings straddles

I don't trade stuff under $50 and this is no exception, but this isn't terrible on the bounce. Probably take some pain for a day or two.

"OANDA has already “flirted” with binary options back in the days. In 2005, the company introduced Box Options, a mix of binary options and corridor options. That offering was subsequently abandoned, with the company referring to “regulations imposed under the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States and similar initiatives in other major financial centers”.

Over a year post-DF.... but the same day that we wrecked them in EUR/JPY

Oanda was so proud of their models that they were toying with the idea of raising the limit on Box Options. That would’ve been the end of Oanda.

The synthetic to limit size. 50 shares and a put = half lot. It's a cheap entry to having skin in the game. Yeah, IV_Trader and myself did the date-prediction with calendars a lot in the 2005-2010 time frame.

I would caution anyone calling the date-prediction an edge; any more so than being right on a post-report move in price.

B, is that you? lol
