atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

Not a vol-trade, so excuse the clutter but I risk reversaled my long GOOG yesterday with 5 mins to the close. Long term bullish but index has got me concerned. Maybe 700 on a SPX off 15, just throwing some chatter around. We should see a big up or down day (close to 1%) by EOW.

 

^^^^^^^

Take note of my post above yours.

 

I am buying the 400/445/490 tomorrow. No more 50-neutral unless we trade >453.

 

Are you selling the 450s to finance this?

 

No, want to get neutral to 447.50.

 

whats the edge in 45 opposed to 50... i've got more switches..

 

Short more deltas, as it looks to be headed lower. We want to settle into the short strike gradually.

 

I'm behind the curve with you guys. I'm tailing ya

 

it's probably because few people can understand this cryptic jargon of yours
it's so f. hermetic

Not that I care about thread ratings, but it is true the jargon on this thread is as cryptic as jack hersheys posts. I suppose one has to be a options guru to relate to what is being posted.

On another note, is the running total pnl up or down from inception? I still say buy aapl puts with friday expiry. Mkt will close lower by friday. Easy double.
