Earnings Plays

Trade Volatility, Not Headlines

It's 4:05 PM. NVDA just announced earnings. IV is collapsing. Your straddle needs to close NOW. RelayDesk exits both legs in <50ms while you're still reading the headlines. Earnings automation, perfected.

Common Challenges

  • IV crush happens in seconds, not minutes

    Post-announcement volatility collapses so fast that manual exits leave money on the table

  • You cannot monitor earnings 24/7

    After-hours announcements happen while you sleep, eat dinner, or work

  • Timing entries around earnings is stressful

    Too early and you bleed theta, too late and IV is already priced in

  • Managing straddles manually is impossible

    Closing both legs simultaneously during volatility spikes requires millisecond precision
