Ya, I've encountered BS like that in F&F accounts years ago. Nobody wins. If the play works it will embolden him to do more bets while you're managing, and if it loses you are that much further from reaching high-water.

colonial, YW.

Ya. I don't think it could be put better then that....
 
Guys, I've rolled into the 50/75/00 fly from 8.85 risk. I did some call flies and some irons. OUT of the earlier fly at a nickel loss. 8.72 mid/9.10 offer on the new fly. Traded to limits of sub account.

Yup, 9.25 mid is the current mark.

I also like the GOOG 665/690/715 weekly (calls here) fly from 11.00 (10.60 mid). I'd go with calls as the microstructure will benefit the call fly slightly <690. I own it as the iron but would probably go with the calls. Obviously preference.

GOOG Fly showing some pain here on the rally over 700
 
out of the 660/675/690 fly for 3.40 paid 3.30 .10 cent gain.. big deal right .. but its profit and i'm not going to expose myself to aapl starting to move... i'm sure it could be by monday on the move..

I rarely trade anything under $50 and never under $15. Imagine running something reasonably complex in that ticker.

Mpel is going up actually and his bet was down... so i guess it works out better that i was stubborn and didn't do what he wanted.
