Trying different tweaks on this trade. For a few years selling this about an hour before the open gave good advantage, but in the last several months that seemed to disappear, with little or no decay occurring in that hour. Placing a limit order after the open is like a moving target as things move pretty quickly. So today I saw that in premarket the mid price was between 1.05 and 1.12, so I set the order for 1.15 to be submitted AT THE OPEN. It took a few seconds but the spike higher in the first minute filled me. When we reached that height again five minutes later the price was down to .95. So volatility at the open can net more premium, at the risk of a strong spike becoming a big move.
