    YT clowns predicting Trump trade tweets? It's not predictive if you're assigning conditions after the fact. It just looks stupid. I predicted it last night... but unfortunately didn't act quickly enough today.

    Dest's "Trade Against a Pro" Trading Challenge

    I don't mean to diminish it or to sound glib, but I went into this with the understanding that I would risk the entire net liq on the two accounts. The only trade that had the potential for (better than) a double was the large asym-fly position which simply got too big (gamma) and the SPX never...

    Dest's "Trade Against a Pro" Trading Challenge

    I had a lot of deep OTM calendars and debit diagonals on the downside. I was net-short 220D on the diagonals alone (ITM strikes on diags). Those were bear/unimodal. That's essentially what killed the day as they were approaching a valuation = the strike diff and I typically cover at terminal...

    I would have been out on the touch of 3148 cash and reversed in a bull diagonal. Still up $440K in the IRA. I should have carried my iPad with me, but I was long at work and lax in monitoring this account. I had gone long four futures before leaving my desk which is what I do to get flat delta...

    https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/will-new-tariffs-hit-on-dec-15-vote.338617/#post-4977344 I went long yesterday in Mar vol (work) but figured I had a day to cover my short deltas and trade into a bull diagonal. I had long futures on the above (post 167) or I would've been out 8K net...

    231P = B1000(2) x S1050(3) x B1150(1) It's used to denote the natural (all puts) but can be traded as calls or the synthetic. 132C = B1000(1) x S1100(3) x B1150(2) Also can be traded as all puts or as a synthetic. 231P meaning the body was below the mkt. Was done as a synthetic.

    Yeah, it was a wide 231 done as a synthetic.

    All that matters is the body strike, neutrality and duration. It was a Dec 13 exp.
