    Vol-trading for beginners

    I have a rough model for the stock, but it's tough on the upside as it's tethered to BTC and the upside is like shorting VIX calls into a crash. I have been structuring asym-condors in the name; such as short (1)500/700ps x (2)1800/1900cs out to Mar and Apr serial exp.

    Vol-trading for beginners

    Vol is too illiquid. I was long shares from 882. I got spanked in the name in the last two weeks. I was up $110K (one day hold) in a bullish asym-condor going into the close. Missed covering--traded out of 30 lots leaving 220. Stock tanked the following day and I was out $200K marked. I am net...

    Out at 1000. A bunch of fills from 999 to 1000.xx. I have a short term expectancy of 55K on BTC/USD and this is close enough. Wheeeeeeeeeee!

    Vol-trading for beginners

    I get it, and I will bring examples, but this isn't a PNL/performance journal. I'll post structures that I like, and I will state if I have it on, but it's not a trading journal per se. I'm done with those. It's a headache that I don't need -- posting ASAP and marketable.

    Vol-trading for beginners

    I'll hit up the thread in the morning with the half size combo. I forgot to put one on today. Strange day. Vols up across the board, ended flat (+2K) but my downside long vega only began to earn near the close.

    Therein lies the rub, but he's rolled down three times. I would use a rule stating that the extrinsic prem on the combo must be =/> the put prem. IOW, the OTM callprem =/> 0.5(putprem). Say you're short $4.5 on that PLTR straddle. I don't have my screens up, but you stress it at neutrality and...

    Ted Cruz Officially Pussified

    ofc he lied about his planned return. Full suitcase for an overnighter? He had booked a Sunday return. GOP simply lacks critical thinking skills. They eat up his bullshit. Oh yeah, Cuomo has to go as well. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/us/politics/ted-cruz-storm-cancun.html

    My family has a home in San Diego, but until recently I was in Tahoe 90% of the time. I'd post what I owe for 2020 but you wouldn't believe it. I pay taxes in two states and three counties.

    Bob, why don't you go long delta in short straddles? The PLTR Feb26 28 combo is trading 4.55. I realize you'll always roll losses, but you can achieve better results with the combo over the short put.

    I lost my favorite made in Japan nail clipper. I bought three and I can't find any of 'em. HTF does that happen? My nails are getting a little stupid but there is NO WAY that I will resort to using some cheapo Revlon or whatever from CVS. I am going to see if Amazon has anything. Toenails...
