  1. yes, sorry for the clutter but it really sticks out few guys who purport to trade ever put "up" trades on a trading site..so when one guy does it is refreshing. also following cads journal too.

  3. Have a quant-buy on AAPL here at 628, but can't take the risk on modality (to delta) on a 635 neutrality. I believe we close above 634 on shares, but will wait for the close.

  4. AAPL buy sig is for naught with this SPX action. Ugly day.

    still have straddle swap on. needless to say down some money on it. long delta as a result as well so I hope your model is right.

  6. Looking a bit better, but index not cooperating. Long the GOOG 735/50/85 fly from 4.80 risk (4.50 mid) NOT a journal trade.

    in hindsigt but it's theoretical anyway, your short the 600 call long the 660 call,short the 660 put long the 600 put,today the long call is losing money,you take it off and put it back on ,or your losing money on the short 660 put,take it off and put it back on,go home neutral overnight,just scalp in and out with the direction of the move,the short call spread is making money,you lift the short put,put it back on at a better price, by expiration you may have taken 20 points out of it,always going home neutral
