  1. Sold 40 of the GOOG Nov 700C at 6.10 average at 38% vols. Long 500 shares against the deltas. Profitable from 560 to 700 post-report, as the vol-line will drop to 24%.

    The calls are 16 deltas and I chose to hedge light, as the ops require 650 shares to remain neutral at 612 today.
     
  2. Paid 612 on 500.
     
  3. 700-strike has dropped to 37% vol which bumps PnL +3.00 on shares. Position up $2,500 marked. A little late to get it, but still worthwhile.
     
  4. Jesus, vols have dropped to 36%. I hope somebody took a piece. Rallymode missed out. Props to IV_Trader for pointing out the touch of 38% vols.
     
  5. oh no...not another meth driven trade...
     
  6. It's easier to point to the trades NOT meth-driven -- marks +$4,000.
     
  7. Marks + $5,500, vols to 35% on the 700-strike.
     
  8. Max pain ( for the other side , lol) is at 640-650 after 18th
