dest's daily PNL thread

Eh, a bit disgruntled that I didn't connect with this sell-off despite trying for a week or two. After Monday gap started to fill I switched heavier to short delta / short gamma, since sentiment was looking so hard to crack. I had the wrong read.

Short deltas were helping a lot of the losses on vol yesterday and today but there's only so much they can do for the wrong vol position without turning into just punting D1 or chasing a move. Also neutrality around low 2800's wasn't stiff enough it seems.

Made money on some gimmicks like long GRUB gamma, AAPL diags, short BYND call vol but not nearly enough size to dominate PnL. Systemic stuff still not helping, like being short Milk today =|.

If we ease up on the panic decent PnL should start showing up. Strong close already added a lot back from the day's low. Going to accept the flip to a more long risk profile for now instead of betting on more immediate downside. Good trading guys 3/5 complete!

Blotto definitely dropped some good knowledge! I actually came across that thread of yours when I was reading through all of his posts (including the ones from his second handle "ghost of blotto"). Good luck with the rest of the week, hopefully the bullish mania calms down (seems it has just a bit today).

your post has me reading @Magic journal

it’s a great read so far
 
Wow guys. The open was brutal for my PnL, right near some risk limits I have. I almost puked some stuff out at the low but decided to let it go for a bit longer. Helps that I was going to be out for the afternoon and not have to look at it. But if it went the other way hard I would easily be looking at one of my top 5 losing days this year and the week solidly in the red.

Feel better at today's outcome than I did for the gains on Monday. No comparision.
