Trading Dutch Markets

Holding on to HGM , GTN (resp. 2 year & half year timeframe)

QQQ condor looking b/e to small loss, I personally expect some more up movement into this expiration

closed out IFX, BAY for resp. a small loss and a nice gain

& in the meantime hurt my nuts with some directional plays.

I want to try out gamma scalping..

long 2 C LHA Jul04 12.00 @ 0.86
long 2 P LHA Jul04 12.00 @ 0.71

LHA trading at 12.10

orders in:

BUY LMT 12.60 80LHA
BUY LMT 12.30 80LHA
SELL LMT 11.70 80LHA
SELL LMT 11.40 80LHA

- shorts I wanna buy back at least with a 30ct gain, longs I wanns close out for also at least a 30 ct gain -

LHA - lufthansa : german airline, quite volatile lately.

others on my list were:

AAB (abn amro, dutch banker) - not available to short through IB, good volatility though
BAY (bayer, german chemical) - stock at 22.50 and I have no idea how to start off gamma scalping when stock isnt at strike price,lol :P
IFX (infineon, german chipbaker) - stock at 10.50, same as BAY

anyone wanna share insights on how to 'start' this gamma scalp idea when stock is halfway 2 option strikes (must be real simple but this morning (afternoon) i'm quite simple myself due to the not-so-simple roughness of last night )
