VIX trade for 8/18 exp

Why do several people call you "Risk"?. RiskAverse would be more appropiate.

Nice trading.

 

It depends on whether AMZN closes above or below 200. I posted a pic of the put fly, but I am also holding the iron fly as well.

Those are not futures options, as they are settled to the price of cash VIX on the opening print this morning. SOQ is similar in function to the SPX/NDX expiration settlement.

VXX is a trust which holds the front two futures and some cash. There are often spreading opportunities with VXX and the listed-futures.

 

32.73 SOQ.

 

'cause he likes to "risk OPM" lol

i think that question would be great for a shortie poll, lol

 

Out half at 5.50. Don't like the price-action on AMZN considering the risk in SPX. Will hold remainder to expiration. B/E of 3.50 on remaining half.

 

Skittish and can't catch a break. Out remainder at 4.70 (75 mid) for sixty cents gain on the full position.

 

Long the Sep VIX 20-50 fly from 7.80 risk.

 

riskarb was his prior handle here.

 

hehe. Thanks. I guess this is one of the few threads to post without hurting feelings...

 

Shorting this close, A of ABC completed imo. Sharp B to follow before rally in to end of month. Your mileage may vary.
