Hi Everyone. Just a quick note to say that straddles are looking a bit on the pricey side again this earnings season, so it's a good idea to stick to what we know works nearly all the time … ie just trade the flag patterns long and short as in all the Flag blogs here.

Hi everyone. I recently received this email which I thought was worth sharing. "Hi Guy, I have another question. I had a trade on GE the other day (58% profit in one day straddle and strangle). I bought GE because of all the usual suspects (cheap, volatile, tiny bid/ask) but the thing that convinced me was the fact that the breakevens fell well within the high low range of recent months. With most of the options I've looked at, even when they're cheap, they require a break through of quite long term support or resistance. So this has become one of my vetting strategies… ie checking if the breakevens fall within the high/low range of recent months. The question is… is this a good idea i.e. does it increase the probability of a profit, or did i just get lucky with GE? …and will I be missing out on too many other trades because I'm being anal about breakevens relative to range?"
