Join us as we break down an exciting earnings play with LULU following its post-close announcement. We explored two distinct strategies:
One aimed to capture the implied volatility crush,
The other focused on a conservative price move.
To deepen the learning, we compared a short put vertical and a long call vertical on a non-earnings stock, highlighting how these approaches stack up in different scenarios. Plus, we revisited two prior trades—one successfully closed and another still in play—to see what’s working and why.

Many traders have a library of options strategies at their fingertips and know them well.  But how do option traders decide which strategies to use? Long or short? Bullish or bearish? In this interactive weekly webcast, your education coach will talk you through the market considerations that may provide clarity and structure to your options selections. See side-by-side comparisons of both similar and contrasting strategies and review the pros and cons of employing each in the current market environment. Whether live or archived, it’s always time well-spent!
