Past earnings records do not guarantees future performances. Buying options just before earnings is exposing yourself to extremely high risk. Your odds is even lower than when you gamble.
Hi Ronald :
Thanks for your valuable input.
You're right. In fact, every trade has its own risks/rewards ratio. You just need to make sure that you apply good money management in each and every trade.
I don't usually take up every earnings announcement trade. I would check a company's past gapping history (yes, it doesn't always gap up), the circumstances surrounding the gapping action (includes fundamentals and technical analysis), whether implied volatility has pushed the option to be too pricey, the probability of the anticipated direction that I was looking for.
I admit I'm still not very skilled in options trading and have to learn from fellow options traders.
Best Wishes to Your Options Trading Journey.

Tony Chai
