I want to know what components are recommended for a high-end trading computer. I would like to keep it around $3000, but could go higher. I realize that I can get a decent computer for far less money, but humor me. My primary concern is relative value- meaning I don't want to pay up for...

Nice work sir. I am out of AAPL at 4.00. And got shaken out of SPY the other day at .57

Out of AAPL at 2.00 Out of NFLX at 1.65

AAPL Feb8/Feb16 450 Calendar from 1.70 (from 1/25) NFLX Feb8/Feb16 160 Calendar from 1.50 (today)

Damn, that's a doobs-like fill. Nice work.

I'm out of that one (on Friday). I am in the Feb8/Feb16 450.

Not seeing much. Skew is pretty normal.

I am apprehensive to wade into this one from a trading standpoint. My inclination is to let the billionaires duke it out. A lot of sellers of the 40 puts. But maybe an upside fly in Feb could work, fade the nascent pop in vol. Would trade it small though. Caveat emptor.

Got to rub it in, don't you haha. I want it back. Vols have converged somewhat though.

2.48 and 1.20

Wow, that thing just closed at 3.40 FYI: The AAPL Feb8/Feb16 450 Call Calendar is marked at 0.30, but I doubt it opens up there.

Out at 2.05 and 0.95 respectively.

Out half at 2.30

From our discussion: NFLX Feb1/Feb8 170 Call Calendar from 1.50 Feb16/Feb22 170 Call Calendar from 0.80 Also, from the other day: STZ Feb/Apr 40 Calendar I got it at around 1.30, but the vol diff is still there. 37.5 strike is good too.

Did the feb1/feb8 450 for 1.60, but you know this

"Volatility Trading" New edition coming out.

Awesome. Can't wait.

A purchase of both a call and a put (typically ATM) is called a straddle. When you are long a straddle you want the underlying stock to move a large amount. So yes, if you bought a straddle yesterday in NFLX it would be a winner today. The rub is identifying whether the stock will move enough...

Hey filthy, big fan. When's the new book coming out?
