What time period is considered short term, or in other words, which options will suffer IV crush post ER? Much appreciated.
I have some May30 230 calls which I plan to sell pre ER. I also plan to sell covered calls, Jun20 260, pre ER.
In general, all of them- the nearer expire will come down the highest percentage; the LEAPS will come down the lowest percentage. The same is true when they increase coming into volatile trading periods. They can all be variable, so this is just meant as a guideline. You should be able to list the IV as a parameter in your trading tool and it's always good to take a look so you get a feel for what constitutes high and low
