    That seems pretty scary to be honest. Thanks for posting.

    The closer we get to Monday the more my confidence grows that my positions will print.

    Can you post a screenshot of your VAR and portfolio delta (from the TWS Risk Navigator) after the market reopens?

    I traded this way during the volatility in early 2018 and it was suicidal.

    The strategy (if you could call it that) was long gamma on short-dated slightly OTM options. I did not hold overnight.

    Trump is working hard to screw you over. We might open green in 30 minutes.
