you're already hedged in an IC. no need to put on an additional diagonal spread type position. but she's not even trading IC's anymore. she's just selling naked options. which is why people are making such a big deal about it being a disaster waiting to happen.

what about the 4th?

Actually, scratch that. I don't have my stuff in front of me and am typing from my iPhone. I know I saw a bunch of failed A ups in something today, but can't remember if it was in the stocks I watch or commodities. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Looked to be like everything had failed A ups pretty much across the board in stocks. Although I did have a confirmed weekly A down in TLT.

would you guys consider today to be a confirmed A down in /GC even though it happened after the open cry pit hours?

haha, so that's a big negatory. who knows what's going on over there. she seems to be pretty excited about the opportunities when the VIX jumps back into the 20s though. good luck to all in the new year. i'm out

you're right, my bad. was thinking about when she was using the spreads.

she never has more than 50% of capital at risk. so even in the event of a "chamber" event, she wouldn't take too much more of a hit than most other funds, anyways. haters gonna hate. obviously, she's got something that works for her and she's good at it. like caveman said, there's a lot...

sure, why not. I'll take the bait and play the other side. If you're so confident that she's got the wrong idea, then why don't you take the other side and buy a monthly strangle? Maybe if you can make 30% a year doing that then people can interview you instead.

agreed, but you're missing the point.

in the video she says that they use technical indicators for their entry points as well. so i don't think they are just blindly putting on short strangles on the first day of the 56 days to expiration. she basically says they use bollingers to sell call spreads when market gets a bump higher...

do you guys start your A values at 9:30 on Thursdays because of the inventory number?

sure glad i put that credit call spread on near the lows of the day. fml

ok great. yeah, i was afraid that might be too long. but i signed up for his trial period for his site and i thought i saw on there he had 45 minutes ORs for both.

ok, good advice. i'm trying to build out my CL and NG levels, but i'm getting very few days where they confirm any A up or A downs. i'm using a 45 minute OR and a 25% of a 10 day ATR. based on my ATR value though, i'm getting very wide A values and I think this may be the problem...

GOOG put in a weekly and daily A down for me today followed by a failed monthly A up last week. i'm still trying this stuff out so i put on a small credit call spread to try and play my bearish bias.

i did have my monthly at 260.78 though, so pretty pumped about that.

it was actually a position i've had on for about two months. took some profits a month ago, but still had a runner on today and got out. Mav, I'm trying to put a little presentation together for some of the gas traders at my shop. I'm using a 10 day ATR and taking 25% of it to find my...

stopped myself out of some AMZN call options today. got a weekly and a daily A down in both

actually, i was just setting up a VXX chart. do you use XIV instead because it's the inverse so it makes it easier to visualize the price action when compared to ES?
