    I'm not ragging on your position. You sound like a proficient options trader and I have to respect that. It's refreshing to talk to someone who knows their stuff.

    Cheers.

  2. Hey, I hear you about defining the risk. I didn't want to be perceived as a gunslinger. My primary trades are defined-risk exotics and vanilla flies.

  3. Sorry to disturb your highly technical discussion. Trying to learn from you, but "cheap tails"? Are you referring to the wings of the butterflies?

  4. Right, long gamma/dgamma "curvature" in wide-strike strangles. Cheap in terms of premium.

  5. Spot +3 from close on current beat but forward look of a dime under First Call.

    Edit: spot under Naz close at 160 last.
