atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

Weeklys are hard to price right..

 

Performance to date: -8% with the GOOG loss. Currently in the put and call Oct 650/690/730 in AAPL from 13.70 average.

 

Looking at getting short some deltas in SPX here. Perhaps some flies and cals neutral to 1450 or so.

 

What..... what Google trade ????

 

The weekly 20/30/40 fly. Be happy you didn't do it.

 

I learned my lesson I hope on a short winged aapl weekly fly....Iwanna be long vol gamma into weekly opex.. I fucking hate losing money

 

This is also a good way to lose money.

 

Everyday I learn new ways to lose money!
