Hello guys, what is everyone's favorite strategy? please share.

I would say my preference is to trade forward vol in some shape or form, be it root-time-vega flat calendars (gamma vs vega) or gamma-flat calendars (true forward vol locks). In distribution-constrained assets I like 1x2s and various other static distribution plays.

Have you kept a track record on this?
