I thought synth combo would be +700p / -700c
... in which case P/L similar to short stock

He is short stock. The conversion would be to a synthetic short straddle, neutral to 700. Unless I’m mistaken.

Huge rebound in SPX, you shouldn't have sold the hedge.

I sold half. If the move is that severe, that 1-lot won’t save me.

We’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

I'm very surprised you bet so big on your SPX trades. The edge from calling market direction is not strong unless you have superior information sources.
