  1. I know that. Maybe that contributed to the position being down.
    What about that free webinar? Do you have a link?

  3. Non sense... Your premise doesn't make sense...... Your basically just shorting gamma or terminal distribution.... Your view on distro is always the same every Thursday?

  4. OP -

    Put another way, how likely is it that these exact options are consistently mispriced, essentially forever? Much more likely that some options are mispriced relative to some other options *some* of the time, and you can trade that. That *some* of the time being every Thursday seems pretty unlikely.

  7. I discarded this strategy a long time ago. However, the is a monthly Iron 'Fly strategy that has worked some 35 out of 36 times averaging 10% gains vs one 30% loss.
