very clean charts, but I would of normalize all stocks prices to 100.

Large bid/ask spread. Years ago, if XYZ was at 44, everyone was trading (long or short) 45's strike and the same expiration (3rd Friday of the month). Now the SAME volume spreads over to 42, 43.5 , 44 , etc AND different weekly expirations. Hence, the larger bid and ask spread. I used to...

Weeklies and one point (even half point for many stocks) strikes intervals killed this game. Or at least made it very difficult.

+5.15 return in 2023

Nice UI

well, just for fun...long 85 4/28-5/5 calendar for whooping 11 cents -:)

This is really interesting, does report is still matters? If not then why the 4/21-4/28-5/5 structure is 30/60/50? I will try to put the straddle swap for 30-35 cents tom. Just for fun :-) Or even better: Calls calendar spread for 15-20! Hoping the deal closes on 5/5 week, hehehe

I see. In any case, they announced 4/27 after today's close. Not surprised.

The report day is not confirmed yet but 4/28 exp vols is > than 5/5. And I believe the jump in 4/28 exp vols is from someone that knows. We will find out soon. So you still shorting reporting vols...and price action. GL.

Robert, what are the -5 to 5 ranges? Stock moves? RC will definitely loose money in -1,0,+1 scenario. Unless a good directional move happens during the week (and I will be out before Friday close)

Thanks Robert.

:D

I was planning to start a journal (Short/Reverse Calendars), but after reading few journals, I have a question: * There is a read only/no replies option on ET?

82 here in Naples...

CBOE uses 4.55 for IR in calculator. So what should be annualized return after expanse ratio? Around 4.20-4.30? Yes, very illiquid (for now) but you won't pay a penalty to exit like with CD's. Not sure I totally understand this vehicle and that is why I am asking for insight

agree on both replies and hence, the low volume question.

new product with very low volume so far... any thoughts on it?

Will do; have a great time
