lmao, I was wondering since I’ve never seen this title. I do have Cordier other book “The Complete Guide to Option Selling”, wasn’t impressed, it’s alright but a lot of vague and misinfo in it. And it’s mostly option selling on commodity futures.

Where was the belly placed tho? Are you saying since it’s a bull market you places the belly slightly above ATM? I’m confused Chef lol

Last week SPX made new all time highs.. 4141 on 4/14 around 4:14am Hawaii-Standard Time. DEEDLE-DEEDLE QUEEP

I’m trying to understand this post. Chef, did you open these flies ATM? Reason I ask is because you said “used forecast direction for belly/body placement”, thus I’m assuming the body is slightly OTM or even further out.. but then you say 1 SD wide? 1 SD wide from ATM? or 1 SD from where you...

There’s so much happiness in this thread :-)

FOR FOOKS SAKE TRADE A RANDUMB CALENDAR

I’ve seen weird strikes, in what seems the most random ways. Calls: 150 155 160.75 165 170 for example.. but none is more bizarre than options on futures.. /ZB futures and what not. I peep at the chain and get the fook out the second I see the quotes lol
