atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

Got it. Thanks.

 

Gone at 12.50.

Performance to date: +14.6% after comms.

 

Long the Oct 625/675/725 from 16.25 risk. Also to the limit of port. High prob of hitting neutrality by Monday's close. Looking for at 19.00 on the offset.

 

Puts?

 

I am in the iron, but quoting the puts for simplicity. Yeah, do the puts.

 

You weren't right, the market was.

 

Filled @ 16.20 on the put fly.

 

Already 16.65 on the mid

 

AAPL was up only 0.21% during AH, not enough to affect your butterfly. There must have been some sort of news today that caused the overall market - including AAPL - to jump at about 12:30pm EST. That sort of market behaviour is impossible to predict.

So you were not "right", just lucky.

 

this is the best thing you said all day
