It's kinda like a martingale strategy... and there are multiple issues with that. - fees - long losing streak - missing SL, but always hitting...
Ah righto... I get it. :thumbsup:
low currently was 2649.75... came back up about 35 pts from that. I got 14 pts on the pullback.
Maybe this has something to do with it as well: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/05/politics/marines-corps-planes-japan-crash/index.html...
100+? 67 from after hrs close. But seems like a few stops were triggered. Went into a small halt like 20 times... :confused:
o_O Are you on drugs? 10 year yields are no where near 6%... and 13% isn't going to happen.
Kinda funny trying to breakdown a shit-show like this :D I would assume this had a very high IV (since it's a biotech), so any gamma would be...
Santa is more or less right about the root-time vega. IV moves less for longer dated compared to front months... so real vega would be kinda...
NEVER! It's easy... 50% baby... EDIT... actually... depends on how it's hedged, how many deltas. I assume it's still hedged. Unless someone is...

Attempt #2 - It's (likely) a long gamma, although it depends on IV at this time... maybe the front position doesn't have anything left....
I would say it's a 5-15 risk reversal hedged with a long synthetic in the 12.50 strike. EDIT... scrap that.. didn't see the difference in...
Yep, IB reps don't know much about the behind the scenes stuff. What Bob meant, is that SPX is tied to ES futures because traders follow the most...
They are basically the same, since they move the same... both are on SP500. Difference in some greeks would be due to difference in maturity......
I totally agree with @El OchoCinco ... you're pretty much f@#ked unless it recovers. At -50%, buying calls will be at high IV... so hard to make...
@Lee- it seems to me that they might be the "Blockbuster" type that has too many physical stores and inventory etc. I heard that some are already...
What was their 392 mln "unusual expense" in Q4-2017? And... call me a skeptic, but 1.3 bln in inventory... what's that about? It's a games...
