Surely you don't mean spoofing? That would be breaking exchange rules. You must mean something else...:D

IV has a team of hobbits in his dungeon amassing a large IV data warehouse from which a further team of Santa's elves (during their off-peak period) work on mining the data for correlations and relationships hitherto known only to Bigfoot and his mom.

What, no reply from MTE? He must be on a break. In the mean time: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73940 If money is no object then the usual suspects like OptionVue etc. probably worth looking at. Good luck. MoMoney.

Or blown up from massive over leveraging :eek: Hope not. Last seen discussing obesity in chit chat: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1178151#post1178151 Perhaps he just got hungry? MoMoney.

Indeed. Sure, if I have a strong directional conviction. Might take a look at this on Monday :D

I'm sure you've considered this but perhaps worth looking at the OTM debit spread for two reasons: 1) OTM vs ITM, you may get better fills on the OTM 60/65 Bear PUT spread. Of course, they are synthetically equivalent. 2) If you intend to aggressively leg the spread, long leg first, then...

I sold GOOG volatility last month (30 wide fly) and luckily came out very nicely. Timing was great in hindsight. Now waiting for the GOOG explosion like you I'm sure.

LOL, yes good point. I had assumed those skills listed by John were his summary of the requirements needed if one were to implement the strategy themselves i.e. DIY as opposed to having it auto-traded by the advisory. If that is not the case then what additional services is one paying for in...

This was my point a few posts ago pertaining to the feasibility of hedging a low risk/reward position vs. a high risk/reward position. Of course you can't entirely hedge your risk without eliminating the payoff. With a high risk/reward position the cost of hedging (including whipsaw) the...

LMAO! I can sympathize optionpro007. I think I can safely assume your request was brought about due to the recent demise of the Chronicles of Rennick journal thanks to some pointless posts from Pekelo. How delightfully ironic that it is the same Pekelo that requested journal starters be able...

I suspect PDT rules might be the issue.

If you can stand the slightly "Holier-than-thou" tone of the book then Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Taleb is definitely worth checking out for one perspective on how to approach the options markets IMO.

Converting to a vertical will leave you massively short gamma going into the barrier :confused: My interpretation is that you are using the no-touch to "tempt" the underlying so that you make money on your strangle and also offset some/all of the debit of the strangle. Sounds like a hybrid...

Looks like neither a calendar or straddle to me but I have been fooled before by words written in black and white so don't take my word for it.

So you have a domain that you don't want traffic going to because they might duplicate your business? Hmmmm...

I can send a large check. Is 44" by 18" large enough? e.g. http://www.samedaysign.net/checks.htm

LMAO. Perhaps Johnnie-T is the one doing the wind-up. ...at least I hope so.

LMAO. You crack me up :D Will have to put you on ignore though! Sorry :)

LOL. Ironically perhaps, it's more likely that I would versus hedging a 10:1 credit spread. Is there method to the madness? Knowing me, probably not.
