RR: In listening to the talking heads on Friday, one theme kept being repeated: it looks like the Fed is done. While it is true that the...
It looks like my August 1300/1315 bear call will likely get into trouble. I'm thinking that I'm going to roll this spread to September....
Sorry, Rally I'm not following you. I'm wondering why the es is up 10.75 for the day while the SPX is up about 14.5 for the day. QUOTE]Quote...
Can someone explain to me why there is almost a 4 point difference between the e-mini net change for the day and the SPX net change for the day?
Did you mean the SEP 1230?
We're in my time frame to start looking for Sept. bear calls. Entered a small position today. Got the following filled: Sep SPX 1340/1350...

Here's a response from Murray to an earlier post: "You may want to consider Diagonals instead of credit spreads if you're really concerned...
But that's true of call credit spreads as well. So, if that's the case, there's no advantage with regards to black swans.
Hmmm. I seem to remember Murray saying that these diagonals give you black swan protection vis-a-vis a credit spread. You're worst case...
Mark: How are your fills on the SPX, or have you given up in disgust? :)
These analyses are very helpful to me in understanding how these diagonals work. Can we take this one step further. Let's assume a black swan...
Thanks, Jeff. Your clear explanation helped resolve a few questions that I had.
Coach and Murray: I keep reading that you want to put these trades on when VIX is low. Currently, VIX is at 16.8. I'm not trading the ES...
