You wouldn’t. I think there are some good options calculators out there that can help you simulate IV crush. I don’t remember what the are. Personally if I feel like gambling earnings I do shares so I can get out during the big AH move. I want to go short CVNA and a BYND eod on Wednesday but I’m not sure I have the stones.

Just wondering.if you can take advantage of a crush. (guessing only writing them then)

I think taking advantage of crush would be selling the options themselves, whether it be cash secured puts or share secured calls. Increased premiums.

I would say you could buy the puts/calls a couple months before earnings and then sell the day before earnings report.

One thing I have always wondered is how soon do they price the options for an earnings?

Like how early do you need to do something like that? I love earnings plays, but when I KNOW it's gonna move SOME direction

Then you’re also dealing with time decay. You may not break even despite higher trending IV if time to expiry offsets.
