Definitely ran hot this week; some lucky breaks. Opened down again [-10K], not as scary as yesterday though. Pft gets pretty touchy late in the...
Lol good eye. I’ve used it forever but my wife read some research and is even more into blocking blue light than I am now. Keeps asking me to...
Wow guys. The open was brutal for my PnL, right near some risk limits I have. I almost puked some stuff out at the low but decided to let it go...
Eh, a bit disgruntled that I didn't connect with this sell-off despite trying for a week or two. After Monday gap started to fill I switched...
Marks on a longer term strategy were a little unforgiving today. They'll come back eventually though. Probably close to flat on everything else....
Wait until the week is up before making that call haha. If we keep rallying you will see some decent mark-down on my PnL. I was really naive...
I'm going to do a week of PnL. dest can vouch that I committed to it before I knew how today's PnL would go :) Closed Friday short with fairly...
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I do notice that when vol blows up, long premium seems to carry for a while. The IV doesn’t get high enough...
Is CL one of the primary products you trade? I haven't traded commodity options much at all, but it has still been surprising to see the vol...
My experience has been that you need some selection alpha on picking which names to sell in order to profit over wing costs in the long-run if you...
I had a 2770 fly for most of the week. +70 back to flat in an instant. Brutal timing. Edit - Was 2 flies marked to +35 each at yday close
Yeah, pure luck to see this a couple hours late haha. Went with wider IC so I wouldn't get dragged short as easily. Less gamma / $ risk though....
Good stuff. I like getting short vol after the rip, and since AMZN should probably slow down as it reaches ATH. Went with an IC. Miss chatting...
Hi Rob, I'm considering backing down the frequency of some of the trading strategies I manually execute. If for some reason you were completely...
Gold vol was pretty lucrative after the gap yesterday. Fading this drop as well; short otm puts against short spot. Probably down about 5% over...
I averaged in a couple times last week, let this one go this morning though for something like -15% on debit. I still think we've went up too...
I like this; picked up something similar. Seems pretty likely we'll at least take a tester stab back down instead of sailing through ATH
I bought a 5 DTE call instead of a 10 lot of the 21 DTE I wanted to get lol. I was on right strike but the wrong date so it was like 4 delta and...
Nice to hear from a veteran. I've only been actively trading a decent block of capital for 1.5 years now. This is the first time I've seen...
Respectfully disagree. The other month I accidentally bought an SPX call strike I wanted a few weeks earlier than I intended. It cost me like...
