I'm waiting with bated breath.
What expiry are you using for the long side? The Aug5/Aug 19 225 call calendar closed at ~$1.30. The Aug19 240 call mid-price closed at $3.20....
I understand the calendar doesn't have to pin, but I think the B/E is tighter than $212-243. I don't come close to using up all of my margin...
There's a second conference call? Man--I do have a lot to learn!
I don't concern myself with margin, particularly with a one-day trade. Sure a calendar would work too, especially if it pins the strike. But the...
Thanks for this. My B/E range is ±6.7%. The absolute average of your close% change is 6.4%. The max% is obviously higher than this (conversely...
My post was post-earnings. I rarely buy premium, particularly with earnings IV built into it. My break-even range is $212-243. I'm quite...
Wow--I have so much to learn from you.
So far so good. Let's just stay right here.
I'm just asking what you did with them. Are you adding to an existing short or opening a new position? I'm just curious as to how you're trading it.

I'm not sure how much clearer my question could be.
^ What happened with your other shorts @ posts 512,516,526?
Sold...both of you. :) Short Aug 5 220/235 strangle @ $7.90.
Bought back the call leg of the short straddle for $0.50. I'll just let the put expire.
OK, I interpreted the OP differently--similar to K-Pia and OC. I read it as "within a range". So long straddle is fine and I would exit at +30%...
How does a long straddle and scalping gamma achieve the OP's objective? The OP wants a vol crush.
My strangle should still be a winner at the open tomorrow if it opens at around $800. If the ES remains weak overnight, hopefully it'll open...
Short GOOGL Jul29 740/805 strangle for $15.20 credit. I also have another slightly bearish position on GOOGL in the regular August expiry which...
Bought a Jul29/Aug19 97.5 call calendar for a debit of $0.30 last week. I felt it was too cheap to pass by. I'm looking for...nothing.
