convexx's "hitting bids and lifting offers" ETF options

Out both NDX asym. They are up 2-3 on marks, but will account as a scratch due to 7% microstructure edge-loss accounting.

 

I played this poorly. I called the 2019 top in the trading thread and went flat Roth IRA, etc. I had also bought some bear-ETFs, but I legitimately forgot the "b-day" asym (sorry wife), and was locked-out of my EU retail exotics when binary went fishing yesterday. No excuses. I could not have hedged those at work, for obvious reasons.

I would avoid binary.com. I am closing all 8 accounts.

 

Remain in the SPX 121 fly.

 

Amaze balls. Literally crying laughing.

 

They were that bad? I never funded with my Israeli buddy.

 

They went dark with S&Ps down <2%. They give you this, "missing mkt data" BS on what-if as well as marking existing positions, i.e., no valuation on the dealer bid. They were down for almost two hours... long enough to go from 52/100 -> 30/100 -> KO.

 

that sucks...googl is going to possibly help reverse NQ some fat vol in GOOGL

 

SPX Oct24 long 1825/1850/1900 put 231 from 10.05. 5%. 700bp skew from wing to wing.

 

Long 5% in the SPY Oct24 180C from 7.12 mid marked. Will account for microstructure. In the car.

 

Risk in VIX. I have a tenet to never sell upside calls in VIX... and here I am. VXX Nov serial 10/30/40 132 in calls. 8.65 to the buy. Logic is a drop in vola after the big reports after the close. Gain to delta, vola, var and corr. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway.

7% allo.
