D1 -> Delta-one -> futures, shares.

Long the back 2800/3500 combo; short the front 2900/3400 combo.

It won't stress using BSM. Vol as synthetic time. The vol-line gains over time as the Street puts a dollar figure on the strikes. AMZN post-report vols typically rally 3-4 handles in the week before release.

I did some last week shorting the inside strangle and legging into the Jan29 to cover. Bought some this week outright (DD( from 1-2 debit. The position closed at 6.3x to the buy.

My biggest position is this, from a one buck credit. Closed at 1.8 yesterday. Up 4+ on the day (today) to 6. Targeting 9 on the cover. Later, guys.

Biggest deficit/debt increase, ever.

No, these are short gamma diagonals. Some are 200 wide. The req on a single of the 200-wide is $20K less the credit. If all 800 were 200-wide my req would be $16MM. It's not, but it's the biggest position I've ever had in index or SN. It's a cash req. There is no margin.

No, i work for an FO but no clerk/execution slaves.

I have 500 flies on currently. A mix of classical (121s) and asyms (132s). I still trade a lot of flies. I'm only neutral (D) when I cover.

If in doubt, get out. You can't repair it, but you'll still earn significantly on a strike touch of you short the 340 for Feb. I'll end with a tautology; you're going to do what you're going to do.

1/22/2021; weekly.

How long have you been holding this? You're short a $0.3 put against April. You're long an April put here. Sell the Feb 340P for the diagonal or pray for a drop. Vega isn't going to bail you out. Delta is.

I am helping you. Now this thread will be in the top five. Where's the PNL?

1) Your req is $468, not $500. 2) You're making $768 but risking $11K. 3) Terminally, at 335 your busto in your vertical. 4) Terminally, at 335 you earn $128 on the short 278 put. The haircut it to protect you from yourself--but then you've found verts and ironically will risk it all on an...

So You're a BSD but opened a piker account for ET kicks. Dude, it's been done. Nobody cares that you're broke. Hit rate is meaningless.

You're either at the mercy of your cold storage device/pswd or you sit at a regulated exchange (cbase) and raped yearly by the IRS. The dude owns a couple of Picassos and a Pollock and didn't think to use a low-level password? People put more thought into their gmail accounts.

And it's been over 8Y since you went dark. So you're relying on the opinion of others, much of whom you call amateurs, to define the value of ET for you? You must be a great trader.
