atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

Out of half at 41.00 (41.22 mid)

 

I am 41.10. puts me up a good bit even with the directional 640/665/690 fly i bought

 

Out the remainder at 41.10 (41.30 mid) at 611+. I think it trades to 42 today, but want to roll into other positions.

 

Performance to date: +35.0%

 

Thank you atty! In the iron for 62.6 out at 58.7. +3.9, made up for my botched handling of AMZN. Was short realized vol there in the OCT ATMs but the no brainer hedge short atfermkt @ 220.7 killed the trade PNL.

 

Nov vol at 26-27.

 

YW!

 

Good play sir. I'll probably keep it around. It should continue to work, albeit slowly.

On to the next one.

 

I think there is more in Jan13 so I went long a 1/2 position in the 510/610/710 from 42.80 risk.

 

Bad fill, currently 42.90 offered.
