EC is better.

Thanks man. Nice to see you posting about plain vanillas again.

So for example GOOG reports in the Oct expiration cycle; Short Sep Long 2*Oct Short Nov?? Close before which expiry?

Can I get in on that? Thanks for the help.

Kind of liking this action here; long from 1405.

Short from 1402, from earlier. Market will rollover, just don't know when

Vol is real cheap here. I probably wouldn't sell premium now, as vol may tick up from here next week. On the other hand, you said that you are buying a straddle, so I guess you want to be long vol.

I was just thinking conceptually.

I see a max payout of $3 at expiry, given a $2 debit.

I would wait until next week to initiate a bearish TLT play, might get better prices. But, I am inclined to take the downside. No real edge on vol though.

Casting 'em back out. Short from 1396.25.

It already made a definitive move last Friday. This week should be pretty quiet.

Wouldn't have worked either. UL down about 100 points so far. Oh well.

Thanks. Out at 1397 and 1397.50, just a quick few ticks. We may drift a little lower still though.

What type of positions? Once you don't like the trade anymore, or your thesis has gone bust, get out of the position entirely. Don't worry about adjustments.

I'd be inclined to go wider and further out.

Quick short from 1401, just for a few points, not picking a top. Appears to be resistance at 1402.75-1403.25, which was rejected earlier.

Got too aggressive, was targeting a quick test of the 1370 level. Should've known it would churn and burn. Standing on the sidelines until the Fed. But if I had to guess I'd say we go down after the announcement.

Short 1375.50, got to stick to my guns

Yeah, I don't think they're going to do much in the way of additional easing right now(i.e. QE3), other than extending the low rate pledge. I am long ZB straddles going into this week as a play on rising vol due to Fed, ECB, jobs number. A slight loser so far.
