ROKU options are selling at a very high premium (time value) due to very high IV%. To take advantage of the high premium I opened an Iron Condor. I chose an iron condor because I don't have a strong bias (bull/bear). This strategy provides a little more cushion whether it moves one direction or the other. I would have chosen a credit spread strategy if I did have a strong bias.

Earnings and forecast occurred. Earnings good, forecast disappointed. Stocked fell. However, as expected, IV% dropped by 150%. Even with big price drop, trade is still working out in my favor.
To be safe and remove risk on the books, I am attempting to close the trade early. No one would pass on a $1.50-1.70 credit per option spread for a 1 day trade. That is a great trade. If I wait the 3 days, I could keep the $3.58 received OR potential loss money.
