    The shit is out of hand. A bunch of us are gonna walk as Discord is the future and you can block the losers. Why have a Pol-forum on a trading site?

    What is this trade?

    You got the structure wrong by stating that he wants the shares to 160. He is long a single call and a bull vertical. He wants it to rally, period. The position never flips modality. He is always long with this position.

    dest's discord group--tickers, structuring and pnl

    So say you're trading vol on XYZ with shares at 215 and you're bearish. You enter into a 180/190/200/210 put fly long from 2.2. You want to determine your static stress at neutrality.
