Here is one for a call ratio backtest (5 years) https://pro.trademachine.com/index.php?share_key=20210321022035_vpYDuqGNtV9q3wjn

As an update - I spoke with my accountant. In my particular situation she advised to report profits as capital gain. It was primary based on the fact that I have a full time job and profits from trading were very small comparing to my overall income. However, if I become very successful (which I truly hope will happen one day) or switch trading full time I should call back to reassess the situation. As a general comment, she noted that there is no strict CRA guidelines (as we have discussed above) and all "regular" guys doing trading on a side fall in a grey area. This means that either way I decide to report my gains or losses I should be prepared if CRA comes and re-assesses them differently. And on a very special note, she was very surprised that I didn't blow up my account in my first year and even have profits to report. For that I would like to send kudos to @Kim and @Yowster for creating such a wonderful community for us.

Yes the naming is weird and I never liked it but at SO we call them "pre pre" when the short leg expires before earnings and just "pre calendars" if both legs expire after earnings but the trade is placed before earnings. Here is the link. Note that some of these stocks have low liquidity so I don't really trust this: https://pro.trademachine.com/index.php?share_key=20210321020801_QuftKcBrrOgYf9hs
