    Long gamma scalping

    no RC this qtr because of the reason you mentioned...back month collapse is not normal/totally unpredictable. Took few 115 call RC on FSLR for amazing 3.80 credit , stock is at 100 after hours and I'm STILL not sure if I'll make money. Need SEP vols to break 60 tomorrow , but with this crazy...

Made good profit ; vols finished at 39. Also had small Q's position only because of penny b/a spread for fast exit if...

    How To Play Pozn- Fda Annoucement Aug. 1

    There is a huge b/a spread , no way to make good entry on this one... The traditional RC here would be buy AUG 20th straddle + sell JAN 08 straddle for 2$ credit. AUG atm straddle (street) factors in a 35% binary outcome , plus the leaps vols collapse to lower 50th. If FDA date delay pass AUG...

    cheap option earning play?

    as of today , I don't see ANY trade on GOOG into report. July atm straddle's premium is about 4% , which is in line with last three qtr's results. Also July/Aug skew is priced perfectly...no edge what so ever for both long and short calendars. Simply a coin flip trade , imo. Maybe conditions...

    Bye-bye reg T

    I trade with IB . There is no "max loss" consideration : all calendars are 75 cents regardless to credit received. Back to my question : if stock moves up or down and my total deltas becomes 100 positive , option's prop shop will allowed me to short (long) 100 shares WITHOUT additional...

    Bye-bye reg T

    Looks like PM doesn’t recognizing accumulation of deltas for 1:1 short calendar position. Did anyone tried to get deltas flat via selling (or buying) stock? How did it affect margins?
