High Volatility Trade
Overview
Typically a trade that is attempting to take advantage of high volatility in a stock would be based on a pending event The most common and predictable event would be an earnings announcement The timing of these announcements is known well in advance The unknown is what sort of reaction will result in the stock after the earnings announcement
![Page 17: Interactive Brokers Webcast Short Term Trading …...Short Term Trading With Short Dated Options August 21, 2013 Presented by Russell Rhoads, CFA – Senior Instructor Interactive](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022053020/5f29f8583430626ea70e4f3f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

High Volatility Trade
Straddle
A straddle is comprised of one long call and one long put Both options are on the same underlying stock, share a strike price, and have the same expiration date A drawback to buying a straddle in front of an earnings announcement is that there is usually elevated implied volatility After an earnings announcement the implied volatility of options will often contract

High Volatility Trade
Summary
Buying a straddle in front of an earnings report is an ‘expensive’ trade It can make sense if an outlook is for a stock to move more than what the market is expecting based on option prices In the FB example, the market was pricing in a lower than average reaction to earnings Be aware that, in addition to overcoming a price move in the underlying market, a drop in implied volatility will also dampen option premiums

Low Volatility Trade
Overview
In front of earnings announcements, option prices are often elevated due to high implied volatility Implied volatility may often reflect the most recent earnings announcement If the previous earnings period resulted in larger than average move, options may reflect this move
![Page 23: Interactive Brokers Webcast Short Term Trading …...Short Term Trading With Short Dated Options August 21, 2013 Presented by Russell Rhoads, CFA – Senior Instructor Interactive](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022053020/5f29f8583430626ea70e4f3f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Iron Condor
There are several spread trades that may be used if a stock is expected to stay within a range of prices The iron condor is one of the better choices due to a range of maximum payout along with defined risk When trading around an earnings event having the potential risk defined by the spread is advisable
