    I run the small universe of stocks (high option's volume) based on some criterias that I mentioned before. The top gamma scalping candidate(without expectations if future vols rise)... SNDK.

    Great old threads about Gamma scalping

    it's very easy to back test both strategies and find out which one is better : 1.Let the initial position (straddle/strangle) expire. 2. Use stock for adjustments , always close intraday and keep separate PnL ( for stock only) 3. If stock's PnL is negative at exp , the "adjustments free "...
