Earnings Trading Journal

Long straddle cumulative profit, not short straddle, hence negative. That makes more sense. I’ve been looking at this metric ever since I first saw your software.
 
Out for 7.79! I'll post fill when I get in. That's okay guys, we are expected to get these huge losses. Thats the name of the short earnings vol game.

I only closed the put side. 1.9% of account down the drain today :(
 
Took a loss on my put fly in $KSS

I'm in $TGT small condor position DEC20 95/101/120/125

Also in $LOW DEC20 103/106/122/130 for 3.15cr

2x on the call side 1x on the puts resulting in a premium higher than the width of the put spread thus no risk to the downside.

Looking for $LOW to go a bit LOWer lol

How come your condors are so wide? Not really a lot of juice there! It looks like your OK in LOW but taking a beating on TGT. DW I took some heat on URBN, thank god it was the smallest position.

Below are yesterday's fills. Overall portfolio down half a percent today.

@vanzandt clued me into LB here. I'd short the NOV29 17 str here from >2.7. It's not my thing (share Px). It's 2.65x85.

Wow this thing is implying a huge move! This slipped under my radar because of the price low. It looks juicy! What with the directional assumption?
