Something I'm pondering: I am short 520 shares, and short the Aug 145 Calls. If aapl shoots to the moon (maybe if they give a pre earnings press release about better than expected iphone 3gs sales, steve jobs is 100%, etc.), perhaps these will get called away. I dunno if ToS papermoney...

this image is the risk profile with volatility at 45% (green line) and 50% (blue line). The date is 7/20, because I am assuming aapl will release earnings on the 21st/22nd, so I would exit this position just prior to that. *okay the risk profile images are shitty as hell, sorry. I used...

this image is the risk profile at expiration.

Just saw Transformers 2, GO SEE IT!!!! Great action, Megan Fox is hot, just overall great! Long as heck though, make sure you use the bathroom beforehand, or at least don't drink too much of your coke during the previews (yeah, i did). Anyhow, so here's my position. Delta-Gamma Neutral...

OK so my final went well, got an A- in the class! Summer is looking good so far. Hung out with my boys on Friday at the casino, Saturday went to a house party, it was kinda wack though. Maybe later this week I'll take this cheerleader breezy to get some Dairy Queen. I've been reading...

Reading more archives answered my own question. Thanks for reading anyhow :)

Hello! Long Straddle is 1.Long 1 Call 2.Long 1 Put with same strike/expiration. I suppose you could construct a delta-gamma neutral, long vega position that is 1.Long 'x' Calls frontmonth 2. Short 'x' Calls backmonth in a ratio for Gamma Neutrality then 3. Long/Short...

Hey spindr0, well the position in that picture was using the current IV at the time, which was around 53%. I changed the Volatility Adjustment back to 0% (yesterday I had it -10% so I could see what the profit picture would look like if bebpasco's prediction was correct) so that it would...

I papertraded a 85/65 position yesterday, here's the risk profile today.

Yeah I hope you guys made some real cash with your positions!! RIMM's relatively flat open from yesterday means a profit near the peak of the 'W' shaped 90/65 long/short june/july positions!! IB also shows RIMM's IV at 53%, great prediction bebpasco!

It's cool how you guys talk options so smoothly, I want to learn how to do that.

bebpasco, thanks for the explanation. I'll watch how this performs tomorrow!

Hello, is there a free source for Equity Fund Flows Data? Perhaps there is a ticker for it if supplied by an exchange?

Thanks spindr0, yeah i constructed it in TOS and adjusted for a change in volatility.....but it seems too easy? How can you profit from a large move OR a drop in volatility? No free lunch? Although there are loss areas in the bottoms of the W, I'm guessing that this position is meant to be...

Hi. Last earnings (think it was March/April), RIMM jumped 28 points to the upside. This position benefits from a strong move and also a drop in volatility? Where's the risk??? I'm trying to find it.
