I was throwing it out there as an additional possibility in case you felt like continuing to hold the long calls. If you just want to get out, then option 2 would probably be best.

4) Cover the underlying which you'll now be short on.

Before the 8/20-8/24 fun and games, did anyone think the market was actually pricing in a Sept or even Dec rate hike? I don't. So even if the Fed says "we don't know what the fuck we're doing - therefore we'll wait and see" I don't necessarily think the overall market will race to ATH as a result.

Time to reload a new set of bag holders.

Envisioning you pondering this for hours while sitting on the toilet and in the shower... :D

Here's what I expect to happen* based on periods of past history - music starts fading out (as it is now), actual bear market starts (as its doing now), the market either fights it tooth and nail or people start jumping ship, amazingly all sorts of pessimistic economic data starts rearing its...

This is basically saying that if oil were 100 and fell to 50, it would be expected to spike to 100. Not sure I buy that.

Everything awesome in the N225:

I don't get why you would want any another instrument given that the futures will provide you almost 17 hour a day access to your orders and not be as prone to gap and rebalancing risk as an ETF would be.

Broke 1944... Turn those machines back on!

Was thinking of signing up to MRCI. Worth it? I already have a SeasonAlgo account and I find it useful.

Still punching myself in the face for closing that VXU5-VXV5 spread. It was profitable but left about 4x on the table. See this is another reason I despise CB meddling in markets - you can never predict when they will or won't be there. So one tries to set reasonable profit targets knowing that...

Refinery fires are always wheeled out once gas starts to drop. Can't let gas prices be getting too low now, can we?

N225 or N225M futures? IB has access. Not sure about options on them.

They said they weren't going to prop up the markets yesterday and then proceeded to prop up the markets.

Yellen booting up TT now.
