Well thank you JXN, you learn something new everyday...did you notice this? Would that "sudden drop" be a low pole? >>While this will cause IV to gradually decrease, on Friday IV spiked due to the sudden drop and that gives you a nice entry point for a butterfly. There's a rather pronounced volatility skew between front and back month options now which makes a butterfly with October strikes look especially intriguing and also makes this situationa prime candidate for calendar spreads<<
