Quote from atticus:
Nice trade. I am looking to get long deltas and short gamma. Can't lose on both here. ha.
Thanks. I bought 1% worth of premium and am up about 50bps. It pays for my disaster in Jan when I held a simlar position through the print and got hosed.
I think your reverse dispersion idea is ideal for this market. It's long gamma, but not really and "not short delta." But if you lever up and buy 2x notional for your index you can get decent tail protection. Though the outcome on the downside move is unclear it won't definately be a disaster.
