Vol-trading for beginners

All that I can say is that I don't follow any macro, at all.

 

And is it safe to say that it's also not price action? (here are your two calls marked on an hourly chart)

 

I thought you trade into a lot of events, or is that only for vol?

 

Yeah, only in vol.

 

I hit a major net liquid figure today that I didn't think I'd reach for years.

 

I'll start up again this weekend. I am going bikepacking tomorrow before sunrise through Sunday. My Trek Rail AXS 9.9 arrived today so I can't wait to get out there.

 

We missed our window and I had to stay and trade. Leaving tomorrow. My oldest is killing it. He went long this fly less than 15 mins before the close and covered AH for a gain of $2.7K.

 

Was curious if you traded 0DTE flies!

 

Sure all the time. He just realized that he quoted/filled the put fly. He didn't want to quote the synthetic due to time and he's lolling that he filled the puts.

 

sold the april vol for 27, covered it 15 min later for 24 (though i figure that number is on a mismarked spot price - and his pnl cam from delta vs vega).

Impressive. I wish my trading today was that productive.
