So, anywho, I've only followed two trades in my career - both from atticus - a long time ago. I'll start with the 2nd one, but the 1st one was more important to me. The 2nd trade was a calendar. Atticus said free money. I liked the sound of that. Got in low 17s near ATM - 2 lot. The UL...

OK, thanks. I try to get your stuff, but really have to mull it over - so that it's intuitive. I was just typing my atticus story.

Sell 4 AUG SPY 200Cs at .33

Ach, laddies.

Up to 283s of a 300s order. There's the rest. So +300s SPY at 199.95. Limit order out. Sleep time.

Geez, +10 more shares at 199.95

Partial fill +100s SPY at 199.95

I like the long side, soon.

Thanks for the input. Much respect. Part of the fun of reading your posts is trying to figure out, What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis. But you've always been generous about explaining stuff, IMO. I have an atticus story I should share sometime soon. This thread is way longer than I expected and...

You summed up the entire trade nicely there. I've been trying to do that from the start. Could have gone with a BWB any old time, but was trying to regain an advantage. But my efficiency here has sucked. Too many trades. Using the BWB earlier, even at a disadvantage may have saved on costs...

Buy back SPY puts at .61. Right back where we started from.

Buy back SPY shares at 200.07

Bought back aug ES 2000C at 2.90

My thoughts exactly (I think?) I wouldn't mind just putting it back into the approx. shape it was in. I'll wait.

It's like watching paint dry. That line from Robin William's golf bit, "not even a German geneticist could have come up with that one," has still got me chuckling.

Sold the Aug ES call at 3.50

The comms on the 200s were 1.89??? The comms on the put sale were .42 ea. Total costs are now about $50.

Still testing stuff out. The 200s sale was off a funky signal that sometimes works. The put sale still gives plenty of downside, but can be scalped. The better short ain't here yet. This is like a paper trade with real money. Got to give some serious thought about the long ES Aug. call. I...
