NDX fly up 50+ on the day. 270 mid. Four lots are gone at 262. 16 remain.

Nearly pinned on SPX and NDX positions going off today. I am taking a week off.

Wish I knew how to do what you do, and be good at it (or lucky at least.) 1/100th of that and I would be happy as a clam.

It was my largest day to date (and week).

I hesitated posting the PNL as the % gain looks totally reckless. I was up 6% at midday and the selloff took all of my flies ITM. I had a huge number of baby SPX flies (PINNED) established last Friday. This was after I'd pulled a mil out earlier in the week.

I gotta stop staring at the totals and go for a drive.

Query...With all those positions you had (or still have), what is (was) your maximum risk if it all went to shit? Is it (was) limited to a fixed amount?

Yeah, my leverage was 1x. 5% loss at +/- 5% basis SPX.
