  1. Do the math. It's 3 lots. That's the max I do currently for any non-index stock.

  3. I might have if the IV was high. I would have been banking premium all the way up. Any losses would have been hedged by the premium collected depending on how long I was trading it...1 lot would have put 9k at risk. Who knows it might have even turned out to be a break-even situation. Only perma bulls lose their shirts and their life savings.

  8. I just did some quick math but the premium return on risk for NVDA would be only like 3% and would be locking up a lot of capital.

    one of the most accomplished vol guys on this site got blocked by a guy who thinks leg prices on a spread affect pnl.

    this thread is a joke. Its value is entertainment like watching Talk Soup.

    a bunch of losers who wouldn’t know a good options trade if it was presented to them with a two page summary of how it worked.

  10. Let me guess you trade parity arbitrage zebra spreads? While you are adding up deltas I'll be doing doughnuts in my (2008) Lambo. Btw I just showed you a GREAT options trade.
