UGLY Friday. Was too busy for an update here, but I ended up rolling the puts back down to 1500. Took a bit of a bath but still well below my...
Closed the 5 1490/1510 verticals when we approached the high again after Fed minutes. Maybe a bit premature, but the selloff EOD made me glad I...
So made an adjustment today, moving the fly right back up to the original 1540 body. My vega was on the verge of turning positive, and from a...
Uneventful day. Pretty flat. My position remains right around the far right side of the profit tent. Delta is still very reasonable and vega is...
Well the RUT bounced right back up to 1540 where my original shorts were, go figure. Still, the call has me protected on the upside, and I'd...
No adjustments necessary today.
1) I don't have mechanical settings for the trade, it's not meant to be setup that way. There are loose guidelines revolving around the greeks,...
Yeah that's an all too common risk, which is why barring VERY optimistic market conditions, I will probably bail out of the trade around the 21...
Not such a snoozer today. RUT futures down 2%. My delta is positive 33, which is high but not critical and normally wouldn't merit adjustment...
RUT is down 2% today and you were right. I'm in the red by about $600, which according to yesterday's NewVar model shouldn't be. EIOIO on the...
Snoozer day again... Greeks look good: [ATTACH] Analyze graph looks good: [ATTACH] The downside gamma trend is a bit concerning if we do have...
Could not agree more sonoma! I only check the position once at 2:00 CT, and even then, I give the position a pretty wide berth as long as major...
So in messing with the models, you're right, the EIOIO model does paint a more grim picture to the downside than the NewVar model. There isn't...
Ah, thanks. Still $1.40 a round trip for 100 shares, but that IS less than $1 per trade.
Even when trading 100 shares at a time??? Where?
So a lot of your videos have your P&L at like $20. Besides the fact that you're probably better off working AT the companies your trading (you'll...
I typically check my position around 2:00 CST every day, about an hour before market closes. I chose this time because it usually has allowed...
The model suggested to me was the NewVar. Can you expand a bit on why this model would suffer in a large down move? Agreed about the lack of a...
Eh, not for what I'm using it for. I tried the TOS analyze tab, and the OptionVue setup just felt a lot cleaner. OptionVue also insists it uses...
By all means clutter if it's a valid premise and thought process. I want people to say what they think of the trade and my thoughts on it. Need...
