got five of the july 17s

sold a five lot of the 15c for 1.15. Long 1300 deltas.

Right now, I'm long 1700 deltas. stocks running.

Here is what I've done: Sold ten of the 15c for .95 against which I bought 6 of the 12c for 3.10 and sold 10 of the 15p for .30. You can see right now that vol has popped, the stock is up .20 and so are the 15s, the puts are unchanged. Sold 15 of the 17c for .15. bought ten of the may...

Delta neutral can be a misnomer as a position can have different characteristics as it moves. In my position, while I said it is delta neutral when it was first put on, it was acutally leaned long by 1100. One reason was the bullish bias, but most important was where my long premium was...

Sold a ten lot of the 15c for .95, wasn't a able to get filled on anything in a pullback, so bought them back for .95.

The position right now isn't very well set up for earnings making some adjustments. Ran into margin limitations on Friday after buying 2000 shares after the close. I wanted more but couldn't. This morning I sold 40 of the 17c for .10, sold 10 of the 15c for .90 and bought ten of the 12c for...

sold a five lot of the 15s

offering out some of the 15 calls for.70

traded an emini. I didn't have any edge so it was just gambling. Lost 2 points on 1 RT.

Second Monitor

Most of my busted trades were for a loss, that was when I was a MM and the CS was busting. Go figure.

I had a much longer post for today but it was erased. Anyways, traded an emini today for 1.25 and sold 1000 csco and 20 of the 12 calls.

Lol, agreed. A journal does help maintain focus.

whoa, what was that? Bought stock against it at 14.06 and then bought back 10 for 2.55 but the stock tanked and sold .02 stock.

sold 20 at 2.65, of course it rallies through

This bond rally has me a little spooked right now, offering out some 12 calls.
