I like it. Be mindful that Tuesday is the last trading day for the Jul. I believe the futures are automatically settled in cash according to Wednesday's VIX special opening quote (SOQ) if you hold through Tuesday's close.
out at 1.47. very small pnl, and as soon as i got out it went to 1.39. whoops, but wasnt exactly sure where it would go at this point, so wanted to be safe than sorry.
good deal. I took the opportunity to dump some Sept 14 Puts that were gathering dust on the back shelf, from a straddle trade of old.
sold 1.54 in jul/aug again.... (i had actually done this at yesterdays close but didnt post till now)
i closed it at 1.34.. not much, but given the amount the markets been moving and the position i was in i will take it. does anyone know, has there been a change in spread trading volume since the margin hike vs before the margin hike? what about spread trading volume as a % of volume for each contract? thanks.
