  1. Thanks, I'll monitor this one and look for something similar next weekend. I was long /ES the weekend that Trump tweeted the China deal was off, barely got out breakeven on Sunday futs open. Can't get caught again.

    Do you have a guess how much of your P/L in this journal will be from index vs SN vol ?
    I would assume the bigger edge is in index, no?

    Maybe 70/30 favoring index.

    414,823. I was up $300 on an index diagonal but put it in the dormant TDA taxable account.

    I've found a near-arb condition in a large cap. I'm putting half the account in it tomorrow. I will name it in a couple days once I've met my size.

    Up $1,300 or so from inception on the journal, but PTDD was $2,200.

    I've got a small short D position in GOOGL and BA. Small Ds in AAPL as well. I will be in DC over the weekend so I'm not going to add here. $13K utilization. $200 theta.

    The Fed vol-drop worked as expected, but I didn't flatten out when I was up $1,200 on the trade. I went long at the close of Fed-day, but too soft. The "sticky" stuff I had on worked well and I was green on Thurs even though spooz were up 25.

    I'll probably not be trading until Tuesday.

    Up $1,600 from inception of the journal. I had the margin account showing, but it's not part of the journal. Up 3% in the first three days. I deleted the last post which showed the taxable account gains when I allocated GOOGL trade to the wrong account. I'd be up $2,600 if not for that allocation error. It would skew the "YTD PNL" if I kept it.

    $1,600 not $2,600. Edit: Broke $416K.
