Vol-trading for beginners

I am short 38K vols and long 25 NQ from 13112. Gotta be long equities here. Targeting 13350 by next Tuesday close.

 

Out all NQ at 215

 

Nice! No heat at all. Easy 50K.

 

I came into the morning long 9K AMZN deltas as well. Thanks.

 

I was up an even 2.0% but was I was hitting 140mph in the car at the time. My overwrite accounts are up almost 3% on the day. Lots of var on returns today. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

$50K in hourly var so I am going to start paring it down.

 

Trading options exclusively - 1 year performance - with the (very slim) hope of replicating this over the next 12 months:

 

nice work.

 

Not wanting to hijack the OP's thread, I have just started a fresh one to explain this graph:
