    Vertical Spreads for Aggressive Growth

    Cashe , very often Vertical has an "anti edge" if vols smile is exists. IOW , you selling a leg with lower vols that you buying. The SPY 126 had a vols of 13 , but 122 was at 17. Can those odds come back and hurt the PnL in the long run? Unless you are very good directional trader.

    Calendar Spreads

    MRVL ended up as complete disaster trade ; everything went wrong. The biggest disappointment was collapse in MAY vols by only 4% , would this collapse be at 10% (as expected) , this trade be at break even WITHOUT any change in price. Now you also now why I enter all/most of those trades when...

    VIX options

    I tryed VIX and VXB ... no options yet, but IB was late to display weeklies too. If CBOE link/data is correct , looks like the IV of first couple of trades is around 50. If nominal will be at 12 (and not at 120 as advertised) , nobody will trade it , stupid to pay 20c spread just to get in...
