very nice trade. i like how you use the fly debit to express market bias that limits downside tremendously..while still positioned to earn if we rally at all. additionally, good to see your rationale is sharpening.
I should've held it and was going to put it back on, but it jumped to 26 risk. Oh well. I never trade neutral. I shorted 7 of the PCLN Oc25 1040P (at 19.6) this morning on the ramp-up. I had meant to sell 300 shares against, but my son dropped my phone out the window on the way to school. I had a peds appt for another one of the kids that I couldn't miss. Anyway, better to be lucky than smart. I just shorted 200 at 1067.60 average against these puts.
Long basis 73.75 ES Dec. I've been short gamma since Monday on the premise that the NFP would not be released as scheduled. Now that it's confirmed I doubled-up on short G/V and long ES to 80 and short a bunch of gamma (-8k).
Sick day and an awesome end to the week. Closed long futs at 83.75 for an even 10. Made much more on share vola. Remain short gamma, neutral D to 1680 on ES.
ES will form a bull-reversal tomorrow. Today's AH action lower was enough to complete the bear-formation. Indices rally tomorrow. ES currently -2.50 from the close.
