Did you take a position in CME?

destriero · May 10, 2019

Nothing in CME.

The NDX synthetic fly just hit 200.

destriero · May 10, 2019

209. Gain of 102 x 25 lot.

221 last on NDX fly.

Looks like thats gonna be a great trade. If you held on. Probably added a few gray hairs though.

He closed that. I think he's traveling.

I was within 5 points of closing the NDX fly. Unrealized gains in the NDX fly.

*Within 5 points on the fly mark of pulling the 20-lot (165-168 marked at the low print).

Very nice Dest. Very nice!

btw... I did take a straight up long of CME stock on Monday in an IRA, 55 shares... a decent little trade in this environment! I need to re-educate myself on options. IRA isn't even setup for options! LOL.

Tips-up Dest!

Yeah, it's small compared to the NDX and I was comfortable with long deltas, less so now that the NDX position flipped. NDX fly closed at 182. I'd cover all if the NDX fly mark trades under 170.

I hope you closed it before maturity
