Long the SPY Dec02/Dec16 119 calendar from 1.18, 6% allocation. 1.18 mid-marked.

I like.

I have the following on: Dec 02 119 (sold today) vs the Dec16 126 (bought long ago) such that the Dec02 119 notional = Dec16 126 delta.

This is about 1% of my account by your calculations.

Yes. :p

I have a vol and timing model. The timing model is based upon Inventure's Ranger, and the vol-model is home-brew. The discretionary component is large.

On what timeframe is the data you're using as an input - are you using daily data?

Sounds like a fun acct to run. GL.
 
Completely flat and up 2% since the new format. PTT (peak to trough) draw-down was 0.3% marked. I'll post weekly IB performance stats.

Primarily from the index calendars. That narrow AAPL fly helped. My VaR is always <10% at 3SD.

Those were a good trade.

Thoughts on this? I did this for 2% risk (based on your calculations)

SPY Dec 110 134 call fly for 6.7
