well-- maybe we get there tomorrow?
WHAT me complain?
Go for it ------ da GOOG !
sold GOOG March 340c @ 23.10 (too early - was going to roll immediately into 360c @ 1720 but heistated for a split second- and BAM!)
One of my biggest faults is getting too cute with rolling out or up (down). I seem to wait for a "better price" and more often times than not miss riding more of the trend. Gotta adapt my mindset this year to more of a day trader mentality.
PnL +420
day order selling 8 GOOG March 400 @ 360

"alleged"??
I'm happy for unwinding.
anytime you want to bet $100 per (on certain) underlyings I will tell you where the PIN will be at expiry.
Better yet you give me 3/1 odds since you are the one saying "alleged"!
I dunno... you're not too reliable on wagers. I'm not the one stating causation. I'll never understand passing the buck on some exogenous event or conspiracy theory.
I still don't follow your logic; if you're so convinced of pinning, why not take advantage of this phenomena? If you're certain of manipulation then you'd be a fool for placing a side bet over a market bet.
just kidding around with you on the wagers. Having fun. But I do think I could ID "pins" (arb levels) at least 7/10 times or get close enough to make it an "edge" !
Yes if you want to start a fund with me to trade off expiry plays we can do great! But you need risk capital to make the strategy work. Retail b.s. margining doesn't allow for as much of an edge.
When I trade haircut next month will do many more expiry plays!
DNA
premise on holding/adding DNA in this account is/was that it gets unwound back to $85
did not fill on march 85c order
+ 7 March 85c @ 2.75
u/r PnL -240
If this one goes positive manana then we will have zero losses in this account other than 1 lot on QM. This is NOT a goal, i.e to have no losses-- but we need to outperform in order to get account to 75,000 by 12/31/06. SO don't want to see a lot of losses. Damn PDT rule right now makes it more diffcult until account is >25k
After expiry I intend doing min 10 lots in this account - max of 25.
