Nice handle... ha. Its gonna wop those stops at 50% retracmemt then some

ebay is a rotton place.. ghost bids galore.. out of country scam central..

was thinking about selling credit spreads on these surges down.. keeps jogging down.. when it really drops the puts get expensive even in the late five hundred area.. if it does break up.. my broken flys will work for me .. not much in it.. i've got a total of 5 bills in managable upside risk...

think about walking up that slope.. its exhasting! haha thats why the vxx / vixy is constantly losing value.. roll cost.. a quick snap in the other direction with a vix spike gets it going for you with backwardation in the futures.. doesn't happen that often.. you bleed to death first.. unless...

umm hmmm the spread...... etf's are climbing such a steep slope now.. thats of course after i got killed climbing it in the vixy etf.. <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/689/termstructure.png/'><img...

i love having my own journal.... that way if anyone doesn't like what i say or how i talk they can kick rocks.. extensive journaling software with quantative analytics and psychological analytics would be rad.. anyway in another fly with a little broken wing.. +BOT 1AAPLOCT 19 '12 +...

dice rolls more like it haha.. jk.. its been a good push down.. keeps it from looking parabolic.. retail investors subconsciously like that i think.. so the manipulators are jogging it up to the ultimate pinnacle of euphoria that they can get!

resistance points are such hindsight biased crap.. i'd like to bet that its gonna hold a fib line.. but what is the probability that happens.. its like all you can do is be right sometimes and make good money managment with asymmetric payoff bets.. 2 to 20 or 1 to 5 .. and be right sometimes...

i'm not huge on fibs.. but this does seem to make some sense... second chart is from the last low of retracement instead of the larger move <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/aaplfibs.png/'><img...

it does feel like your holding your breath under water alot of times literaly!

because of borrow? meaning the cost to short stock and hedge .... dividends meaning what is baked in considering dividends of holding long underlying as hedge?

what do you mean "can be had" ??

Sounds interesting... wish I could make sense of it.. leg out of a box...

I agree... wait until you feel like its really gonna be painful and buy... moves seem to go farther then you think they will.. healthy retracements...

you wander what happen to some of these reverse gamma scaplers.. i like actually how they call it bleeding or scapling.. kinda violent :) aha http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=207638&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

interesting find.. i hear more about this strike pin from the grave yard.. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=175858&perpage=6&pagenumber=5

hmm.. i get it.. i need to read more about this.. i remember reading about something related to delta hedgin or gamma scapling with butterflys i forget though.. in that baird options market making book.. i still get a little mixed up especially once i get to second order greeks and beyond...

ahh i see.. i've never opened a iron fly position.. if thats the deall thats the deal.... i wouldn't ever say i bought a credit spread... you sell credit spreads.. buy debit spreads... double negatives are a bitch.. kinda werid you would sell an iron even though its almost the same thing as...

No big deal but our communication is bad..buying a butterfly has always meant +/--/+ two short contracts as the body... everyone I know and every where I've read puts it that way... I know its counter intuitive but its the deal buy the position (butterfly)...or sell the position. The...

selling a fly is buying volatility if its at the money....your basically buying a straddle but limiting the profits.. -1/+2/-1 maybe not a bad idea if the outright straddle is expensive dollar wise.. meaning is to much of a position size for your account.. i've actually brought that up...
