    I guess no one is aware of these trades. Maybe I'll post the inverse position instead next time. That could be fun...

    That would be a cool game. Guess which side of the trade he's on.

    imo post periodic PnL summaries and the audience should build up. Probably people scroll through and don't realize how the whole run is going.

    Meaning there not many questions? I have one - is this normal amount of trades for you, or it's just the virus + earning = opportunities?

    For some reason I thought 132 call and 231 put fly's only referred to call/put fly's and not the iron. Didn't know you could also trade this set up with iron fly's.

    Dude, where was TSLA when you placed this trade? TSLA boomed exactly to 650 early in the day.

    I will go back and look at time stamp, and post it here. I originally passed on tsla trade at open. Then it dropped to 618, rallied back to almost 650. I did trade then, and got a suspiciously good fill. I thought something was up, but it worked out.
