pin the 70 strike tommorrow.... looking for a buy up into the close how much you think that 665 calender has in it? think its spent.. still pricing a otm calender..

I wanna stab at it with deep otm puts

wow i'm jealous... i'd love to have that experience.. i trade all kinds of flys and credit spreads, calenders etc.. on apple... and right at opex i trade outright premium.. you were as they call it.. a "local"

anytime i've bought outright premium.. i've thought as the entire premium as my stop... using a stop i imagine would get you picked off real quick no?

Fuck I love this info... that's cool as shit you made markets... cost of staying neutral.. gauging where you change from positive to negative convexity.. Were you keeping a book on single stocks?

I'd like to believe I'm a good trader with to much risk adversion
