Here's How I Roughly Doubled the Market's Performance Last Quarter

A Low-IV Calendar Spread That Works When Nothing Happens

🚨 Join Graham and Nate live at 10 a.m. ET🚨 They’ll dive into Newton momentum, the secret sauce to spotting stock shifts before they happen and more [tap to join us for Opening Playbook] How to Profit From Stocks That Underperform Earnings Expectations   I’m always looking for stocks that don’t do much after earnings. Most traders chase the names that gap 10% or more, but sometimes the real opportunity shows up when a stock barely moves at all. That’s what I’m seeing with McDonald's (MCD). Historically, MCD has consistently underperformed the market maker’s expected move around earnings. It often moves about 1% while the expected move sits closer to 2-3%, which is unusually quiet for an earnings event. Quiet is tradable, especially with calendar spreads. I’m targeting the $322.50 put strike for a neutral setup. The goal isn’t direction — it’s allowing time decay and implied volatility (IV) crush to do the work as price gravitates toward that strike. Execution matters here. The bid-ask spread was moving when I entered, and I was filled at $50 while my Closing Playbook co-host, Kane Shieh, was filled at $48 on the same structure, which is exactly why I use limit orders instead of market orders. The Execution and Why Timing Matters The structure is straightforward: Sell the near-dated contract and buy the longer-dated contract at the same $322.50 strike. Maximum profit occurs if MCD pins that level after earnings, but perfection isn’t required. If the stock drifts a few dollars and IV compresses as expected, the trade can still produce solid returns. A clean pin can deliver 50-80%, while a modest fade back toward the middle of the range can generate 20-25%. Timing plays a larger role than most traders realize. For directional trades, I prefer Thursday earnings because there’s only one trading day for price to move, but with a neutral calendar, an extra day helps. More time allows the stock to stabilize and volatility to drain, both of which favor this structure. After earnings, the first hour is key. Ideally, price stays within the expected move early and then drifts back toward the center of that range, which is when these spreads typically expand. I also use a system that triggers alerts and routes orders automatically to improve consistency during tight entry windows. Tools aren’t required, but reducing hesitation can materially improve execution. Why I Like the Extra Day on This One For neutral earnings trades, time is an asset. The additional day after the announcement increases the probability of stabilization and gives IV more room to contract. MCD has a history of muted reactions around earnings, and that tendency is what makes this setup attractive. Sometimes the best trade is the one where nothing dramatic happens. — Nate Tucci And if you want to dive even deeper, you can always join the New Money Crew text chain, where we’ll send you a fourth stock that hits the scanner around midday!  ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________
