SPX Credit Spread Trader

Quote from ryank:

I'm just pulling this info from TOS at the moment:

June
1 sigma = 1224/1299
2 sigma = 1190/1337

July
1 sigma = 1194/1335
2 sigma = 1130/1409
vol = 18.14%

You can also do a rough calculation by taking the ATM strangle for 1 sigma, doubling it to get 2 sigma.

Can you tell me where on the TOS software you are pulling this, I have TOS

Thanx for your help!

Go to the analyze tab, then click on the Probability Tab towards the middle of the screen. You change sigmas in the prob range box.

June, its purely a very short term directional bet, will close on the bounce when the volty collapses. The dow is of little concern to me. I hardly even watch that thing. Besides, i had teh same spread for $1.2 2 weeks ago, i dont see how today is any worse than two weeks ago.

Agreed. DJX isn't very useful in directional forecasting.

I also like your position. 1245 is still the strong support line for me. I've been toying with the idea of balancing out that unbalanced IC I've got.

[edit] also I'm expecting a move back up towards 1280 by next Tuesday accompanied by a >200bp drop in vols.
