GOOGL fly will be gone today. You can dump it here at 42 (mid). Not held. Gain of 2.5.

AAPL fly is gone from 3.6, loss of 1.7, but I'd recommend holding through Fed.

FB is 13.8. Gain of 60 cents.

AAPL DD is marked to a credit of 0.65. Loss of 67 cents.

Hi dest,

Can you recommend any books (that you use) to study options trading?

Do you pay attention to company fundamentals or rather extract all necessary data from the market to make trading decisions?

Does your strategies based on some mathematical pricing of options like Black-Scholes etc.? How extensively you apply math in your trading.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dest,

Would you mind sharing any words on your trading journey? How long did it take before you were consistently profitable? How did you practice or simulate?

Thanks
