Looking to get into MA. Either a fly 15-wide for Oct19 neutral to around 465, or 10-wide for Oct12. Perhaps maybe a call condor instead (450/460/470/480).

Yeah, I don't think I'd touch it. It may be great, but the shares hit 484 on the 5th.

I layered on some Oct/Nov 650 calendars (with the 645 fly) at 16.45, as I wanted a few more deltas. UL was around 643 then.

Out of the 650 calendar at 15.95, too much delta. Still holding the 645 fly.

AAPL fly up a buck from entry (mid).

Yeah it's looking good. Glad I added to it yesterday.

I think we may have seen the lows for the day in index, but I've been wrong many times before.

Bidding for a MA Oct19 450/465/480 Fly at 5.80 mid. Keeping it somewhat small.

I like it. I don't think we get to 480, but I wouldn't want to be short D here.

Neither would I.

Just filled at 5.85 (calls). I'm going to play it tight, kick it out on any break of 460 in the shares.

...and wrong once again, told you. I thought 1425 would hold on the ES, oh well

Printed 465 in AH. Perhaps I should have went out to 470. Anyway, I'll look to offer it tomorrow morning if the shares are above the neutral strike, unless we get a fade in index.
