My man. How far out do you usually go on the long leg? I generally try to find the week where the IV slope starts bottoming out, but I've been thinking about going for a longer expiration. That could make it a much longer hold though 
  
 The SaaS stocks have been so good for cals this Q. TTD, TWLO, MDB all fell on positive earnings and rocketed back higher than pre-earnings levels within days. Could've been 10 baggers with the right expiration on the long legs.

I usually just go the next week out and most of the time close shortly after earnings. Sometimes IV is twice as high only one week apart. I haven't considered going much longer but my favorite plays are when I hold and the stock price reverses  like you said. 
  
 How far do you go out and are you using anything to scan for stuff like this?
