Mon Feb 9: Pre-Earnings Straddles and Strangles: Analysis with Detailed 2026 Trade Examples

We have had a general introduction to Earnings Options Trades. Now, let’s get down to trade specifics! Ron Bertino will present remotely from California.

  • Detailed 2026 trades or evaluations involving CNXC, FFIV, RMBS, DOCS, NVO and more
  • The roles of Volatility, Price Theory, Correlations and Relative Value
  • Trips for Trade Selection, Entry, Exit, and Management
  • Online and Desktop Tools

Ron is a quantitative and general guru with tremendous presentation skills who researches in depth with great precision, and this will be new material, so I definitely recommend this talk. I doubt you will find a better in-depth systematic analysis of Earnings Trades anywhere. It will nicely complement some of the more ad hoc approaches we heard from others.

Ron also offered to also show using option block trades (unusually large option activity) as well as seasonality trades, if time permits.

Ron is the very articulate trading educator and founder of https://www.tradingdominion.com/ , which is a popular trading mentoring organization and forum community.

Ron has a huge effort into putting together a slide presentation for this meeting. He has literally hundreds of pagess and they are all brand new for this talk. He is a crystal clear communicator. Let’s show appreciation by turning out in person here in Raleigh or remotely elsewhere.

Ron likes lots of questions and comments, so please bring yours.

We also have several local members who are very active traders in this space, so where possible please come to the Library to chat with them as time permits at Oberlin Regional Library, 1930 Clark Ave, Raleigh, NC. We need a decent turnout to keep getting access to the Library. If you cannot RSVP, just come without RSVPing.

We are discovering the strength of “Earnings Trades” on individual stocks as major options strategies. These strategies are quite popular, often built on selling overly high stock price expectations for earnings events. They are readily accessible trades for all levels of trader experience, and can provide a real potential edge. We suggest you try them.

In the vein of helping people better understand viable approaches to Earning Trades, Ron Bertino will present remotely from California, and take questions from us. Ron is a quantitative and general guru with tremendous presentation skills who researches in depth with great precision, and this will be new material, so I definitely recommend this talk. I doubt you will find a better in-depth systematic analysis of Earnings Trades anywhere. It will nicely complement some of the more ad hoc approaches we are hearing from others.

Ron will focus on:

- Understanding the link between implied volatility and price for earnings trades, which many people misunderstand

- Three phases of timing for earnings trades

- Samples of option trades which could potentially be put in place for these three phases

- Using tools to help find earnings trades with good odds and good risk adjusted returns, based on prior backtesting
