Diagonal call spreads like two fctors to do well:
1. A low IV environment
2. A slightly bullish, steady performer
Here at SF we can't do much about finding low IV, but can someone find that slow moving juggernaught moving about a buck per month?
I like Diagonal spreads because:
1. Defined risk
2. A little profit with no move, and a shit load if one can pick the correct short call

Nice filter. I think one would want to find a stock moving like Comcast to build a filter around for diagonal option trades. Thoughts?

Thank you, graftonian and snappyfrog
Not an options player, just an eager learner.
Here are some thoughts

@graftonian,
1. Regarding your request for "slow moving juggernaut..". I've been toying with this possible filter
2. Also, I noticed that KSK8's filter provided in the "I'm tired of losing money..." thread seems to find some slow steady movers, maybe tweaking it will find some good candidates for your option trades.

Snappy, CMCSA looks like the perfect candidate........except earnings soon and no convenient option strikes.
Ed S, If we could quantify the slow, steady gains of CMCSA, I believe it would be a good thing.
Good Hunting,
Graf

Ed S, How's this for finding the "smoothness" Some work on the time frames could perhaps improve it.

Added a few more bells & whistles.

@graftonian,
I've added some slope stuff to get nearer to the CMCSA ideal...left in a lot of my test lines as I'm sometimes lazy.
