You shorting index into Monday?

No, I didn't get it off as we didn't touch 3160. I will be in LV for the weekend so I am flat.

I am long ES from 79. In size.

My intent is to trade into the synth-straddle tomorrow, and eventually the fly. Synthetic 121.

The 1W ATM combo is marked to 160 as I type this post.

That's unfortunate (for me), I was short into the close today. Are you still targeting the 160 strike for your straddle?

I have a model that fades pre-NFP. I will hold this through the close. I lost my phone this morning and left my iPad at home. Anyway, it's no longer a pre-NFP trade, but I think it's a coin toss that we actually trade positive today. I may hold through the weekend. Down 20 pts as I type this post.

Not targeting. It assigns a dollar value to the vol. I wouldn't likely trade it neutral anyway.

Short the Mar20 3000 synth-straddle from 142.

Really hope you got out of this, or at least got enough hedge!

I traded through 9/11 but these are some Crazy times...

Out $64K... but I made $42K at Caesar's playing 21 and DP at Craps.

Cool! Damn...you must be slinging black chips right and left! Never had the ballz to go much more than $25s myself

Love craps, mostly a Don't player too. Funny how the other shooters will sometimes try to hit you with the dice! But heck, I'm with them on the Come out (if i'm behind the line on DCs)!
