I couldn't get filled on KMX and didn't want to hug the bid. Shorted 1 AZO but it weirdly dumped almost $10 in the last 10 mins before close. I...
I'm not sure I can go into every direction you're exploring at the moment but I'll try to respond to the general thrust. Regardless if IV is high...
Imo, a perfect hedge is essentially an exact replication of the option using the underlying at that moment in time. Hedging in the traditional...
Good luck! Don't have anything on myself. Next week has a nice handful of earnings to pick from. Anyone else trading still these at the moment...
Haven't committed to a completely hard rule yet. Haven't factored in the ON range actually; that is a good thought. I'll have to think if it...
Trying to optimize the exits on these bugs me every time I trade them lol. I think I made like 5 posts on that earlier on. Still don't know what...
