atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

this isn't actually jeff augen stuff... i just thought to exploit the lowering of vol going into opex by using the following weeks options... never read that in any of his books ..i swear.. besides... the guy talks about profit and loss in 1x3 ratios going into earnings without considering margin requirements in P/L thats retarted.. the only guy i really like his attitude and writings for real is Taleb... slandering fuck bastard he is.. Although Espen Haug is a little fucking crazy himself with his loony toons... Plus Espen is one of the only guys to write me back..

which MA fly are you guys talking about..

 

Espen is very sharp, a bit too risk averse.

 

Yeah Haug is good. Taleb needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Read Sinclair's stuff.

 

Straddle substitute. The 400/450/500 for Oct. Most of us in from the mid 29 handle.

 

yeah.. i fucking love his cartoons... i have a suspicion he posts in these forums..

 

I've got a sell on GOOG here at 428 basis some black box output. Can't go into Oct easily as it's the Q binary, so I will trade the weekly on the opening rotation tomorrow.

Won't be for the journal performance as I am still in MA Sep.

 

Know your weapon.

 

Yeah, Filthy is good. They don't care what you do at Bluefin as long as you earn.

 

ok ... i'm in at 31.11
