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

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 )
