  3. The analog has been holding. They print an outside bar late in the day and the bulk of the gains happen in the last 5-15 minutes. It's why I bought the close yesterday knowing with certainty that I would take at least 2-3% in heat on the trade. Better to move size when you can. I would not have been able to position overnight in vol and I still did better than if I had bought the open.

  4. The futures from ~2450 were a 20-lot ($130K). I was long 600 index verticals and bull diagonals which earned $246K and the remaining $65K was in single-name flies and asym-condors.

  5. And if the market went down it would have been a 1-lot and 1 index vertical and bull diagnal - right @PoopyDeek ?

  6. No, I clearly posted my delta position. I also bought ES. Both of which were underwater when posted.

    Hate the game... not the player.

    @Here4money Don't beat yourself up VIX is at 50 there's plenty of more swings.

    did the math, only missed 1300$ from holding. I suppose it'd been much more had I exited at the top b4 the close, but now I'm just pissing in the wind with what ifs.
