  1. Hmm, everyone seems to have a bias in favour of the market staying in a tight zone...

    I guess so, at least for the remainder of the week. I wouldn't be surprised if the Es picked up a few points from here in the next few days.

    Always have hedges in place in case of too much correlation (like being too short gamma).

  3. You think it'll rally from here doobs?

    I'm short gamma with some flies at 45 mid strike but dammit! I'll wait till tomorrow to make a decision...

    Doesn't look like I'm right so far, but be patient. These late day sell-offs are getting annoying.

    I am short a few Es contracts, and long a June VIX 20/25/30 Fly from 0.95 as a weak hedge

  5. What was up with the mid-day rally? Who was buying all those stocks? I was so confused when I started seeing the selloff!

    Weird!

    What was the afternoon selloff. That looked pretty scary.

    Most probably more sellers then buyers. There could be other reasons, but this one is the most plausible.
