I was injured in S France and was unable to fly home when my mother died of breast cancer. Regrettable.

Here's the terminal payoff leveraged to rates -> rate shift from 0.00 to current RFR of 3.75. Obv a 50beeps rate move in Dec will leverage it further.

Do all adult Italian men live with their mothers?

lol it's not a roll but it has about $19-$20K rho.

Truly my last until I cover the trade. I want to show the time stamp and that there was no other trades placed other than 1 share of NFLX to populate the Monitor page so that I could reset PNL to the system default which apparently is $125K. Here is the time stamp and I will produce an account...

It's a vol-arb. I don't short puts. I don't think that you understand that automating the trading of naked short puts, as you are doing, has nothing to do with trading an edge. I am risking $5200 on a long vol-arb. I honestly don't know what you're afraid of after repeatedly asking me to post...

You goaded me to post it. I don't have a journal and you won't see any further posts from me other than the cover of this trade. You asked me to post it!

He's implying that I am @spy. The Mods can easily vet the IPs to show that we're not using proxies and that I login from one IP in Tahoe. I can assure everyone that I have no other nicks on ET. I only post from @destriero

You asked me to produce my "sim journal" and I promised not to clutter the thread, so all I will produce is the cover of the trade I've shown. Thanks.

Max risk is $5,200. Long vol. Here are the greeks. I won't clutter the thread so next post will be the cover. Apparently futures are delayed, but this is a sim off my IRA account. I will only trade SPX and NDX vol (no futures options).

Yeah, it's TDAmeritrade's TOS front-end. I reset the PNL. I will only use mkt-orders for entry/exit. The position is a complex-order arb and doesn't require a lot of haircut.

Here's my monkey sim-account position, traded with a "COB" market order in SPX in a PM-account. You can adjust MTM PNL from net liq. Looks like $123,881.42 starting net liq.

No update on PNL? Waiting for another uptick?

lol can we get an update on unrealized PNL today on your short nickel puts?

If you're looking for an immediate move... yes.

The US would run Weimar Republic inflation before defaulting. You cannot default if you control your MS. You von Mises dudes are losers.

Debit boy! tell us more about your un/realized sim-profits!

What purpose do the icons serve when your 15/1 short backspreads go tits-up? A stress of the 15/1 structure goes debit on a 15% ES drop.

What is this fool's former nick(s)?

It's a great trade if vols or index skews are high and you structure it as a split-strike asym-fly (say a 132 but split strike). Or if you have deep knowledge of a product and there is an implicit floor or ceiling in the product and it doesn't pay to trade ATM. It's not a always in the mkt...
