    Record Bet: Trader Sells $18 Million in VIX Calls

    You ask the most elementary and buffoonish questions yet have the gall to judge a sell-side trader (JG). Umm, the answer to your (second) question is "on delta"

    Then perhaps you should listen and learn. The first time I have heard of someone hedging on time / price. Wow.

    Record Bet: Trader Sells $18 Million in VIX Calls

    You're attempting to come off as knowledgeable but all I hear is "derp" .... You could've stated, "options are risk" but instead appear to be impaired. Yeah, I am atticus, do I know you?

    Record Bet: Trader Sells $18 Million in VIX Calls

    It's not, at all. Why consider the risk of a single-option within a position, unless that position is (a single option)? You take spread/combo risks along with D1 as a whole. I can short a straddle and undertake URO on the upside. I can buy cheap wings at greater than 1:1 and make the outlier a...

    Up a couple pts here. I intend on converting this as well. No plans to do so until we touch 1825. Short PCLN, FB, ES. I am short 6.5k SPX deltas (beta-w) in products.

    My reco for FB for the following week. 63.5/68/72.5 put fly for Feb28. It's 2.02 mid here. 2.05 would fill immed. I am short D in another fly, but prefer the one below. I am also short spot from 69.22 and will trade into a synth fly next week.

    He's either arbitraging the Gox/Coinbase rate or simply walking away with 'em. Either way the guy will do 1-2 years and walk away with many millions.

    I was on the road early and missed these, FB as well. Looking for short entries on the three tickers. FB especially as I already have exposure to the online travel in the earnings fly.

    Path-dependency. Zero-sum only applies to the single-option in isolation. It's not a practical concern. I can short XYZ and sell two ATM puts and buy wings... see the shares rally and actually gain on the drop in vola. The parts are zero-sum, but not the whole.

    Bitcoin pounded again

    The only unlimited risk is those shorting it, and that's not a practical concern as you're limited by going debit in the account. Forget it's BTC.... treat the $560 as a stock with a stat-vol of 150% annualized. This is not a difficult concept to grasp.
