No worries I'll be back in January to pick up. Have to focus on the day job next few months.

It's managing the exits that takes up the time on Fridays that is what is eating up the most time. With ten positions on I've been ending up screen sitting too much and with travel expectations now restored for the day job it's becoming more difficult to carve out the time while honoring my...

I agree. I had one almost perfectly pin yesterday. Bot 1:2:1 4380-4395-4410 put fly @ $3.70 around 2:15 pm. Went off the board at 4395.65 about as good as it gets for 45 minutes worth of work. Cash settle this morning at $1436 or a 388% return. If only I had the balls to size up...

Did you make any adjustment with the 4295 put?

Interesting post. My community in Peoria has a heavy Lebanese presence dating back for almost a 100 years of a steady immigrant flow from Aitou Lebanon. They are mostly Marionite Christians. We have a dozen or so Lebanese restaurants and some of our political leaders the LaHood's are...

Anyone know the name of the song the British trader listens to on his drive to the office?

Thanks for the feedback and running the numbers. For Iron Butterflies I'm happy to take 25% out of them. On a directional put or call fly the risk to reward ration on the set ups is usually higher in the range of 3 to 4 to every dollar risk. For these set ups I look for what the market will...

I used the closing price to do the calculations. Am trading on TW so don't have the TOS ability to go back and look at prices at certain moments throughout the day. Am thinking of doing the same comparison this week. Although with flies outside of cash settled spx I don't know how without the...

If you are looking that many days ahead I think it's best to widen the fly. I like flies over spreads when theta is in play usually under 30 DTE. I mostly trade them under 5 DTE.

wishing you a relaxing safe trip.
