    Out of NDX fly, 117.00 risk (83.00 cr).

    117-101.5=15.5*2-lot*100= +$3,100

    119 covered. Market is 120.5 mid on the natty. I am on my iPad and the pic won’t upload due to resolution (too large). Anyone can check the MTM on the natural or synthetic. I am short a lot of deltas in GOOG. $2,880 gained. 8% on debit.

    GOOGL calendar is MTM at 18.5. I still plan on holding thru LTD on the short, and using the long as source for the symmetric 231P fly through the report.

    They're both 119.50 iron vs 120.5 nat.

    I made more $ on the trade than you did, even though you found it first. Sucka!

    Everything will be treated as a one-lot for journal purposes unless stated otherwise. "Return on debit" or "% return" for the trades specifying contract size like the last NDX trade. VZ has been referring to the thread, so I expect that he will now revisit his train wreck journal.

    Of course. I always quote positions in terms of "risk" or max loss (debit). I've been quoting both since I typically trade irons and a lot of people can't grasp that strike-width - credit = debit. Especially if it's a 253 or 352. [reduce to 1-lot risk =width-(credit*0.5)].

    So my NDX fly return is, 117-101.50=15.5/101.5=15.27% return. I did two of them so PnL=15.5*2*100=$3100. Which is almost enough to cover my expenses from hookers/booze for the week :)
