Opposite you....

  1. Just so long as all your trades are before the fact, and would have actually filled. Again, I'm not going through the trouble to verify options trades, so we'll just have to trust you. You take the most advantageous trade you can, I'll be basically a bucket shop. If you win, I lose. If you lose, I win.

  3. I think that's the point of the thread...that he could just randomly fade ETers on both entry and exit and turn a profit...interesting strategy, I must say.

  6. I'll just be the bucket shop for the purposes of this thread. So, I only win if the other loses.

  7. I dont understand this one. Ive seen you do this before but it was an earnings play, where you had the strikes outside the price.. whats the goal here?

    I often embed smaller flies, even when they're explicitly "adding risk." The BWB was also long deltas. D-modality will flip on Tuesday with shares above 2012. Both positions are literally neutral-delta here at 2013 on shares.
