atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

Good sale. Stock offered < 448 in pre-market. Not sure what to do with this thing now - puke it out early or hold for a bounce to 450?

 

Got the hell out of the weekly MA at 4.05..

 

Got lucky with this bounce...out at 4.50.

 

5.20 mid this morning. Oh what a difference a day makes. Anyway, holding off the 45 neutral fly as we're above 454. Good job on the exits.

 

Yeah the thing just took off. Out of the Sep fly at 4.80.

 

Nice going Doobs.

Gains on SPX positions today on this touch of 1451. Not journal PNL as the MA fly is the only position in that account.

 

Good call. I never ended up doing those flies/cals. Covered the short ES though.

 

For anyone in QCOR who isn't following the thread on it, there's a conference call at 11 today. Hopefully will be of the cheerleading sort and let the air of this vol a bit.

 

I've started looking at AAPL weeklies (well, weeklies in general) and pulled up the chain for the options expiring next Friday 9/28.
I understood that weeklies are released on Thursdays but I'm not seeing any bids/asks for the 9/28 chain. Are they released later in the day or am I just having platform problems?

 

I've got 'em.
