    ATM Iron Butterfly - Why is it Delta Negative?

At this point,you should look at the verticals you are theoretically short(rolling the wings closer to ATM)..do you want to be short verticals trading at pennies??? I...

    Re: How to trade Vomma

    None of this shit will make you rich,but having a good understanding how changes in vol affect your position should be known...before the change happens:)

    ATM Iron Butterfly - Why is it Delta Negative?

    Dont have the book,but its pretty dam clear its a typo,or you are looking at one savage skew.. The wings on the fly are apx 4 percent wide. Go find me a 96 percent spot vs 104 percent spot in the SPY/SPX with a Delta differential that nets out to 28.. You find it,put the risk reversal on(delta...

    TSLA call options price difference?

    Re: How to trade Vomma

    At the end of the day,you would most likely be long some sort of strangle ,with correlation risk. You would be taking down more theta and long vol,so you would have to be careful on implied vol..You may want to hedge with put spreads,MAYBE a collar....

    Re: How to trade Vomma

    If you are putting on 1-3 option positions per name,I coukd easily see trading without Greeks.. It gets much more difficult as you start to have a position on 10+ different strikes and expirys You obviously couldn't run a short vol book,or not well:)
