Is it possible to be profitable selling strangles just before company earnings? This book details nine years of successfully trading the week of company earnings, selling wide option strike strangles, and what happens if you were to use strikes set at the expected move of the stock. The author discusses the most dependable indicator of how much movement will occur in the stock; when to apply the trade; how to enhance the post-announcement results and, how to manage a trade gone wrong due to excessive movement in the stock. New to every reader will be a discussion of a technique to exclude trading potentially questionable trades based on previous behavior. The liberal use of graphs and charts makes it an extremely helpful text for the options earnings trader. A discussion of the various volatility indicators and how they apply to these short-duration trades shows the difference between these earnings plays and a 30-60-day trade. If you want to know which the best day of the week is to trade earnings, what is likely to happen if a stock should miss its earnings expectation, or why you should have no opinion on the direction of movement in a stock after earnings, or why you should avoid the highest weekly volatility, then you will enjoy this book.
