Short Straddles

Should we call this trade Priceline Earnings Explosion or Volatility Implosion

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Splice and dice it any way you want, there is no doubt this trade is on Steroids. The trade takes advantage of a very specific Volatility Arbitrage situation noticed in Priceline on the day it was reporting earnings. This was a case of mispricing Implied Volatility on the next Option series. A fairly complex Short Straddle strategy, that worked like a gem. Only because the analysis leading up to the trade was Spot On the mark. Believe it or not, this sort of opportunities come up all the time during Earnings reports season. Once you learn this strategy and approach well, you can create very nice 1-day trades based on the Volatility Crush
