atticus' "ship it" vol trading journal

I'm out completely. I'll wait on it and reassess. Vols are too high for me.

 

24 vs 32? More like 24 vs 38+

 

I bought the AAPL oct nov 665 calendar.

Vols are flattening because of the selloff. I think they report in Nov.

It's a view.

 

Nov is inside the date in any case. Vols will rise from 32-33 to well above 40, but they will jump on time, not on the announcement. Nov vols are rallying 25-30 bp per day at 3-4 dVdT.

 

atta boy!

 

The friggin fly went to 10.35 mid within minutes of closing 1/2 and Murphy's Law suggests I got out 10 minutes early... now it's back to 10.10.

 

Its time I want in on this.... market seems weak

 

This is your influence!! After the run up in March when fortuitously I was long gamma, I decided not to press my luck in AAPL. In this month, I've done two trades, the first didn't work out (even though to maturity I would have received max gain) and now this.

 

Press your luck! Haha
Make a run for rich

My call aapl sells off with the entire market . Then kills it at earnings ..

 

This is already in process...
