You said you were scaling in. Did you get in completely?
Quote from IV_Trader:
1250 - 1290 vanilla strangle ? If those strike would of be available for Weeklies , would you consider to hedge exotic with them ?
Same bear risk-reversal I bought at 3.00 earlier. My double barrier will be null tomorrow, but I have the r/r worth 18.00 based upon futures discount to cash and gamma-gains. I will cover the entire 210 R/Rs tomorrow.
Quote from IV_Trader:
sorry to hear it for you , B. I had a bad feeling when you bought back with the loss your long 1950 barrier , but what do I know about market direction
No worries. Risk rev are up 260k into the barrier, basis 124900 futures, last print. Gain approx $20k per handle if we trade South of 124900 on June ES.

Paid 9.00 on 200 June SPX 1250p/1290c r/r; damn, reversal wasn't expected to reach this magnitude.
Can't stomach the overnight risk knowing the double barrier is virtually certain of being touched. If the market reverses higher I'll see a huge gain on the exotic and reversal ... provided we do not see 1249.00 basis cash.
Bought 400 June ES at an average of 1248.50. This will allow for a b/e on the exotic and hedges. The position has no risk -- remains long gamma and vegas.
