atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

interesting note... resisitance at 680 aligns right with the highest open interest call strike.. 680 probably not a confidence.. even on the weeklys (correction)31k volume 15K OI at the 680 thats 2 to 3 times the other strikes.. thats probably why its pinning.. i'm betting it unhooks at the close... just keeping my eyes out for a weekly expiration trade

Still holding on to it for now (iron). Probably going to buy some shares.

 

whats "ship it" mean.>>>

 

Paid 3.40 (lifted offer) on the Sep14/21 675 put spread. Rationale is a boost to term structure prior to rollout. More later.

CD: ship it means "all in"

 

Out of AAPL Fly @ 15.60 (iron), equivalent to 9.40 for calls

Sold it at 16.15, so picked up 0.55

 

Pinned the highest OI strike coincidence or randomness... what do you guys think

 

I am seeing a nice gain on the calendar.

 

Looking to cover at 3.92 limit.

 

whose got flys on? i've got none.... not sure if things are going to move swiftly or not.. i like the drifty no where goingness into expiration...

 

Out all at 3.92 (currently 4.00 mid)
