Roughly last week seemed to show no change day to day. I should have written down every day, but haven't. Will do from now on and also plan to stay below 20 g carbs. I don't know where I got this from, but the rule of thumb I knew for proteins was 0.5 - 1 gram / pound body weight. Looks like I...

Thanks, will have a look.

You're right. Carbs have to be below 20 g. I was under the impression below 50 is good enough. Will need to fix this. I also read that eating more small portions rather that 2 large ones prevents the body from getting into that storage mode. Thanks!

I’m 64 yo, exactly 6 ft tall and currently 173 lbs. Why would I go into keto? You may say I’m paranoid, no surprise here, my wife says it too. During the last 2-3 years I slowly went up from size 32 to 33 and recently even 33 started to feel pretty tight. My belly acts like a magnet. All the...

Now isn't the max loss = debit of 34.5k? The diagram shows it below 40k.

Can OptionVue do more than the Analyze Tab in TOS?

My direction assumptions come from interpretation of the chart. Good or bad at it, this is all I know. Can volatility and gamma somehow come in support or contradiction of my assumption and only enter the trade if they align well (not sure exactly what this means)?

Then there is hope... Being right about direction matters for almost everything. Is this fly less picky about it? Shooting for max profit is a "good luck with that" situation. So I guess it's assumed to be closed early.

Oh, so it's not this?

But this is such a narrow profit range. How can I guess where the stock will end up? And also how can I set the fly such as it's delta neutral where I want it? The non active fly in the simulation is quite on the other side, but delta is pretty much the same as for the active one: -2.75 vs -2.39.

Well, this made me realize I was chasing the wrong profit diagram. I thought it needs to be something like this: While it has to be like this:

Imagine then how much it would take me to figure out ...

Ironchef, no need to include me in the list. I don't deserve it. I kept twisting my mind trying to figure out what Destriero was saying, but no way to solve it and gave up.

Destriero, Thank you for all the good intentions and effort, but for the life of me I can’t even figure out the call fly. Can’t tweak it to have delta neutral at 10 points above body strike, not even at current SPX spot. Adding to the puzzle, I don’t know how these two phrases can describe the...

Thank you very much. Will try to digest it.

Got nowhere. Obviously more than I can chew. I went to google to find out about risk reversal, stickiness, etc. Funny that some links pointed to this forum. I had no clue stickiness is a valid notion, I thought it’s a term you coined. Anyway, I learned few things, but I’m still far from...

Much obliged, this is probably the most in depth cooking recipe you've ever done. Still need help to decipher the jargon and the abbreviations, but there's a whole weekend ahead... And where are you heading? Oregon by any chance?

And here is the other, not too promising either.

Are there any guidelines how we name these? 132 or 231 and do we then place the strikes in ascending order? This is what I would do, but please advise if I'm wrong. Anyway the are only two ways of placing that trade. Here is one and I don't think Des would go for this.

Can't say I have a favorite. Information is sprinkled all over. Here are the ones I have bookmarked. The last two are about calendars. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-butterfly-megathread.325933/page-5 https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/pricing-butterfly-spreads.323503/...
