    I never roll stuff, but I rolled the put legs to 2000/2100 x 2500/2700 and it's marked last at 61.65. My average with the roll and increased size is 59.2 on the new one.

    I am also long the July 1500/2500/3000 132 fly via the synthetic -> short the 1x 1500/2500 ps and short the 2x 2500/3000 cs from 277.5cr (722.5 risk).

    I lost that hope and started to think of it the way you think about a drug: if the benefits outweigh the risks then it’s worth taking it.

    I don't want people to think that I am only showing my winners. I post TDA phone app performance in (near) real-time so that it shows that I am not photoshopping the %-figure. I'll try to do it each day so the reader can see my return-vol/variance. The TDA account is mid 7 figures and the performance is representative across the accounts that I own. I have three accounts and the TDA is the largest personal account that I trade.

    Nothing you cannot learn from just reading Investopedia.com articles or simply picking up an Options textbook (not the ones written by James Cordier). What would be worthwhile here would be some strategies or insights in real-life trading scenarios. In options, executions is EVERYTHING and it couldn't be truer.

    Have fun in the thread!

  9. Seems the thread started at the beginner level and dived into a conversation about daily open positions. As an options beginner, I got lost. The bit in the middle fell out I think as it got conversational.

    Hey ho. Per other threads I’ve swinged S&P from early 21 to the current highs, so I’m happy. Although was hoping to be more non directional and sell high IV with some condors, but meh..
