That's what I said and nobody gave me a thumbs up!
I usually just break it down into separate positions. You have a 2/2 bear put calendar spread and a 1/1 bull put calendar spread. The 1/1 bull put spread will turn into a 1/0 long put on feb10, and the 2/2 bear put spread turns into a 2/0 naked short on feb12 exp.
It's the usual 2/2,1/1,1/0,2/0 scenario.
Is this a practice account? With the naked short what's the margin requirements?
Is that was you mean when you say "microstructure"?
I was hoping you would chime in. Thanks
Sorry, didn't mean to rip into you. I assume the worst; that ppl are using tenors with news to impact the edge figure.
Quite alright, I've been following you for some time; I appreciate your straight forward no BS approach!
This was just me playing around with analysis looking to gain understanding at what I was seeing... no position on
Hey Desteiro only came to the answer after I already answered it! Where's my cudos???

Answer? You never mentioned event risk.
