I guess forex forex has you testy. Don´t let him get to you. Calm down and count to 21 and then back again, breathing deeply. ( grin )
I´m feeling my way into this calendar spread and trying to reason it out. It´s getting interesting reading with calendar variations.
I liked your comment on short gamma. I guess I dont picture that term in my mind yet? Will have to read up on it a bit.
Was reading up on these calendar spreads, new to me. Nothing is at the start, as simple as it looks. Sometimes we don´t know enough to ask the right questions. Your reasoning on the Delta comment escaped me, but of course I accept your critique without question. You said no, so it is no. I´ll probably figure it out down the road.
In scrolling the internet, I was startled to read of a STRADDLE composed of two calendars. Got a rough idea of what it does, but not going to understand this, until I run some calendars myself practically.
Take care of yourself ATTICUS. Don´t let your blood pressure rise.
Best wishes! Congratulations on the trading nephews and nieces. I´ve got my grown adult kids watching me and some of my older grandchildren. With FACEBOOK social family atmosphere. So far I´m only holding on by the skin of my teeth, so got nothing to teach them yet. Mind you, that is a lesson in of itself.
