>I have a good one for you. This would be for QQQ and the bet is to buy a 100 point OTM call and a 100 point OTM put right at the open of the US cash session at 9:30 eastern. Sell both when one goes ATM. The theory is that the side that goes ATM will gain more extrinsic than the side that goes deeper OTM will lose extrinsic in most cases. The US cash open usually produces the largest volatility, so making a 100 point move in the first 15 minutes to an hour is common. If a 100 point move hasn't happened by 10:30 am eastern, sell both and close the trade.
