    Great! Only one trade for me today: TNDM 48.5/62/75.5 @ 6.92 Cr. Won't be around for close so I entered early.

    down to the wire sorry for late posts I have been fighting with HUM for way to long.
    Long AKAM 80 straddle for $5
    Long AAPL 197.5/210/222.5 @ 2.95

    There was so much opportunity today but for some reason I couldn't get filled on ANYTHING!

    This AAPL trade looks like its spelling Jamaica. No more deltas would be almost peak of distro

    Ahh yes, but you've inverted. I think it's done for now. What exp? MAY3?

    You're looking at an $8 open on it if it's sitting here at 211-212.

    What do you mean by inverted? Also your 132/231 Flys are golden around earnings. You can get negative vegas and capture the expected move almost perfectly while risking much less than the 121 fly

    I did not mention. It's not a 121 it's a 132C FLY

    Looks like AAPL could be a 2x winner if it stays here. Interesting setup. Great risk/reward on a 50/50 punt.
