I've been doing a trial with Optionetics Platinum and tried to get a straddle on AVIR to come up, but it wouldn't. Might be because the options aren't trading.

Hard to say about the speed of the volatility changing. I'm sure in some cases it changes quickly.

I think using straddles for news events makes a lot of sense. Has it generally been working in the past?

I'm concentrating more on finding a combination of undervalued options and a stock whose short term volatility is below the long term volatility and moving back to normal.
