  2. Holding on to HGM , GTN (resp. 2 year & half year timeframe)

    QQQ condor looking b/e to small loss, I personally expect some more up movement into this expiration

    closed out IFX, BAY for resp. a small loss and a nice gain

    & in the meantime hurt my nuts with some directional plays.

  3. I want to try out gamma scalping..

    long 2 C LHA Jul04 12.00 @ 0.86
    long 2 P LHA Jul04 12.00 @ 0.71

    LHA trading at 12.10

    orders in:

    BUY LMT 12.60 80LHA
    BUY LMT 12.30 80LHA
    SELL LMT 11.70 80LHA
    SELL LMT 11.40 80LHA

    - shorts I wanna buy back at least with a 30ct gain, longs I wanns close out for also at least a 30 ct gain -

    LHA - lufthansa : german airline, quite volatile lately.

    others on my list were:

    AAB (abn amro, dutch banker) - not available to short through IB, good volatility though
    BAY (bayer, german chemical) - stock at 22.50 and I have no idea how to start off gamma scalping when stock isnt at strike price,lol :p
    IFX (infineon, german chipbaker) - stock at 10.50, same as BAY

    anyone wanna share insights on how to 'start' this gamma scalp idea when stock is halfway 2 option strikes (must be real simple but this morning (afternoon) i'm quite simple myself due to the not-so-simple roughness of last night )
