Destriero's single-name vola journal (riskarb; atticus; et al)

Full disclosure: I don't have any position in AMZN. I do have the NDX Jun29 7050/7300/7425 132 iron fly from 98 risk (2-lot). Hedged with QQQ 175 calls. However, this is irrelevant, as I'm posting it ex post facto.

At current spot, 1750 now looks like a fade. So...

Jun29 1650/1750/1800 132 from 48 risk.

That's the position I'd initially looked at. Should have gone that way.

I agree based upon broad mkt. I’d rather be outright short but won’t be surprised by a pin to 1750

Dest5 out:roughly $700 gain, net. I don’t have my IRA open so it’s an approx. I think we see 1720 before 1760.

That screenshot is from ToS mobile app. Don't know if he's executing there though, could be for illustrative purposes.

AA Inflight WiFi works for a change. 1730 close and it;s 2x leverage at the 2-lot wing. I am glad to be out with a small gain. See you mofos on the other side.

Your Gogo in-flight wifi is going to cut out once you cross the arctic circle.
