You're referring to a "Balans" chair. They're terrible. The fixed leg position would be a favorite device of Torquemada. Via's Swopper:...
You and those damn diabetic-coma inducers!
I imagine they're perfect for making pan-fried noodles. Will try it tonight with the pork. Thanks Edit: will do!
I am addicted to stir-fry. I had an island range installed in the kitchen specifically for that purpose. You need a lot of gas output and good...
:p Basis is the absolute difference rather than %. 2000basis = 20.00 vol points. Tenor skew refers to relative vols across expirations.
I can't make a living off these. That wasn't the OP's request. I find maybe 10 of these a year. This one I had missed; an ET member asked me...
IMDC was clean -- the deal wasn't to swap until > a month past expiration. ANY reversal carries risk of stock-calls; as well as assignment risk...
I've been called approx 5% of the time. I have the account vetted and would be glad to show you Mav. There was more IMDC available than I could...
LOL, yeah, sure why not[straddle-strangle swap]. It's better in the sense that you're long gamma curvature on the wings while remaining short...
Any nootropic formulation is incomplete without Piracetam. The MoA is increased membrane fluidity, ATP production, neurotransmission and...
Couldn't agree more. It's a simple matter to run feature selector. IBsoft: will IB be offering NYMEX pit futures and options soon?
It's certainly easier to model on an index. With a "tight" time fly you're likely long vega/short gamma depending on strikes and expirations....
Locate hard to short shares and trade the reverse-conversion[reversal]. The arb for the upstairs trader is the premium as a function of the...
Right, or a time fly. Can be tricky into earnings; works very well in stable vol-markets; short gamma and can be made neutral to possibly long...
I was situated somewhere in the top 100 before I went long ICE, ugh. Should break back this week. Went long 25k BOL for the dead-cat bounce.
You seem to suffer from DSS; or Double Space Syndrome. A pathological condition in which the author incorrectly attributes far too much...
The carry on the Nov is roughly 3 handles. Not a concern as the Nov SPX vol strip reflects this premium. The back month premium in the vol-strip...
I agree with your reasoning, simply disagree on magnitude. A 30-print hasn't been seen since the 9/11 aftermath. You'd have to assume that your...
There is a risk-hole at the 17.50 strike at expiration, but that can be managed as expiration approaches, provided you don't wait until 9am on...
BTW, the futures are $1000/handle. You may want to trade some back month futures, say Nov at 138.50 and simply manage the option-roll and retain...
