  3. Vix and how it's misinterpreted

    Expectancy would be probability of short strike expiring ITM X max profit minus probability of long strike expiring OTM X max loss (with a...

    Yes, my short leg is ITM as is (of course) the long leg. I was just trying to grok your estimation of payout. Can you explain in more detail?...

    Yes. You have a unique ability to miss the point. Look at the fucking math.

    Not a typo. Take the similar put spread available now: FXI @ $42.76 Jul15 $45.50 put B/A = $2.97/$3.10 Jul15 $46.00 put B/A = $3.35/$3.55 Best...

    Hey, look! You ignored everything else! Predictable. And no, those exact expirys would be stated as JulWk2, Jul15, JulWk4, and JulWk5. Learn...
