I remember that trading group meeting. (I run it on Tuesdays at 12:30pm ET if anyone wants to attend live - its free.). I haven't seen Larry back so I hope he's doing ok with his trading. It was a really good session discussing what others had learned. Broken wing butterflies are nothing new...

FYI: QuantyCarlo released a free online historical option data viewer. http://quantycarlo.com/announcing-quantycarlo-data-viewer/10386

I can ask Amy. If I recall, she had a vacation planned around Sep and didn't trade that expiration cycle and got lucky. I work with Dan Sheridan and Amy is in our community. She's going to be a presenter on Nov 9th with the current Iron Condor class that just started if anyone is interested.

I'm the one in that other thread who works for Dan Sheridan. Let's clear up a few mis-understandings first: 1. Dan never worked for OptionVue. When Dan left the CBOE pit in 2004 he partnered with OptionVue to do the billing and advertising for him. Later, Steve Lentz did the first 4...

The mentoring is currently done via WebEx sessions. You call in via telephone to join a teleconference with Dan. Other students watch and can participate via a chat window. A few of Dan's students have private sessions (some work for brokers etc) but the vast majority are public and archived...

Thanks Jack!

Do you have a URL for Trade Alert?

Are you thinking of a butterfly or iron condor? If I put my short strikes on an iron condor deep OTM and everything expires worthless, how does volatility impact the Profit of that trade?
