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.
The futures from ~2450 were a 20-lot ($130K). I was long 600 index verticals and bull diagonals which earned $246K and the remaining $65K was in single-name flies and asym-condors.
And if the market went down it would have been a 1-lot and 1 index vertical and bull diagnal - right @PoopyDeek ?
No, I clearly posted my delta position. I also bought ES. Both of which were underwater when posted. Hate the game... not the player.
but... it didnt... i made almost 10k per es contract off this call today, like go somewhere dude, youre talking about what if's that never happened.
did the math, only missed 1300$ 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.
