Adam's Vol Edge Trading Journal

I'm curious what plays you did today. Great vol for some nice fly's

 

-Long AAPL Mar06 275/300/312.50 132 Iron Fly from 11.84 risk (13.16 cr)

-Short 10 shares per fly @ 295.00 (hedge)

 

Got rid of the hedge

 

Damn, now I want it back

 

I like this asym condor from 3.8.

 

That's nice

 

And it's gone. 13.86 (-0.70 loss)

 

It cratered basically the moment you put it on. Bad luck.

 

Don't trade this too large.

 

How come you guys like the short 1x 300-275 put spread + short 2x 300-312.5 call spread as opposed to

Long 1x 275 call
Short 3x 300 call
Long 2x 312.5 call

Do you find yours easier to leg/execute??
