I've adopted an approach of more trades with lower allocations per trade, so I don't have a problem with holding both the call and the straddle (I have the 52.5 straddle). There's no problem with holding both, but obviously if you're concerned about overallocation then you're better off skipping it since there will always be another trade.

I entered a pre-earnings call on ORCL earlier today: Mar23 $53 call for $1.13. This was from a CML blog post in September, with setup of weekly 50 delta call 3/0, SL/LG 40%. Today is 3 trading days before earnings and with a choice of ~52 or ~48 delta at the time I opened, I chose the 48 delta. @Mark100 I've posted my results a few times somewhere earlier in this thread, so if you search back through, the last breakdown might be useful info. As of right now, I've made 174 trades since mid-June 2017 with an average gain of 6.4% while trying to follow the setup close to the backtested result. However, all of this was an experiment to see if it was worth a subscription, so I've only followed trades that have been posted on the CML News blog (http://www.cmlviz.com/cmld3b/lite.php?app=news&referral=menu) or that other members have posted (where I can check the details of the trade myself). I'm planning to complete 1 year without a subscription and analyze the results, but the way its looking so far, I almost feel bad about not paying for a subscription since I've made quite a bit of money off the trades

I would also consider subscribing to Return Matrix/Return Scanner that @Djtux offers at a discount to SO members. I like using both to prospect for high probability PE momentum trades.

I believe there are at least a couple of experienced guys on here who have a good track record with CML. Give me another week or so, and when I have completed another 7 trades, I will post my results (currently on 93 CML trades).

Looks like it's broke loose.

Still holding.

I'm still holding. I got in the 68 call at 1.25 yesterday.

@MichiganWater I just did a temporary fix, If removed all scanner filters i see "Showing 1 to 50 of 1,409 entries". The root cause is that Amazon AWS service i'm using as a cache is a little limited in size for my needs (so i'm caching more and more stuff), so i will do deeper work in the coming weeks to improve that. Sorry for the inconvenience.
