SergeyE Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Hello, Kim. Hello from GTA, I am so glad that I found your interview on David Lincoln's channel! I've just watched that video and I want to ask you few questions: 1. You didn't mention time to expiration for your long straddle trades. I suppose you buy 90+ DTE options. Is that right? 2. Why don't you buy strangles instead of straddles in SteadyOptions to be exposed to a higher Vega? I am trading long Vega strangles 120+ DTE in my registered accounts and have very similar P/L that you mentioned in the interview. I wrote my scanner that finds me good trades. Quote
Kim Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 We usually trade the closest expiration after earnings. This gives us the highest positive gamma. Sometimes we do strangl s depends on where the stocks trades. Quote
