Refusing to make a cake for lesbians seems a bit ridiculous, even if you express disapproval of homosexuality. However, refusing to make a cake and decorate it with something along the lines of "we support gays" when you do no such thing, as in the ...

That might explain why bonds were not particularly well-bid given teh carnage in stocks and why eur/usd, although up on the day, seemed to be struggling compared to recent bullish strength on similar days in the last couple of weeks.

Made a big mistake closing my puts too early. I think yesterday's missed opportunity on CL is still messing with my head. Such is life. No way around it, that's why trading is tough.

I think equities go up from here, bonds go down. EURUSD curiously strong, I'm hoping it's a squeeze.

Out of Dec 105 AAPL puts for a small gain.

Closed the puts for 55.25.

EURUSD a great sell from here IMO.

I am gutted. This morning I was short 2 CL contracts from near the highs but I bottled it. I've just seen it. Pass the sick bucket.

Very happy with the way things are panning out. I still think the indexes are weak, and that we'll see the bottom of the range before the top, and am positioned accordingly. But yeah, now I've said that probably we'll get a gap up and go tomorrow...

Yep, always a trade-off between risk and reward. No way around it. Thinking about it, in a way selling naked is more conservative than selling spreads, because the high margin requirements of selling naked mean you can't sell so many; whereas the ...

Just sold a couple of AAPL 118/120 weekly call spreads for $0.42.
- Boy Wonder replied Aug 18, 2015
Duh, I've just realised that's not so. They're December puts so it's December that's at 2085, not September. Sept is down about 6 points so, yeah, $194 on a 4-6ish point drop in the U/L, I can live with that. Better than a poke in the eye with a ...

Well, more conservative it is, but it's also far less fun when you get it right. I'm sitting on 4 ES 2000P's and with ES down about 12-15 points on where I sold them (2097-2100-ish) I'm in profit by a miserable $194. Not a lot of return for sitting ...

Hey Stray....do you mean for example selling a 2100/2130 call spread?
- Boy Wonder replied Aug 18, 2015
Should be good for my AAPL puts, in which I doubled my position late yesterday.

1-month SPX straddles ahead of the September meeting, as analyzed by GS: image url I don't disagree with what they say; the question in my mind is which sie of the straddle is going to be hit first?

Looking at the chart below, it seems to me that going back the last 5 years every time the NYSE Summation Index has plunged that occurrence has been accompanied by weakness significant losses on the SPX, as highlighted on the chart. Until 2015. Note ...

OK I'm back on the short ES train again. But rather than short the calls - which is expensive in margin terms - I'm long a couple of Dec 18 2000Ps. I'm not really big on buying options but I'm also not big on getting caught with my pants down ...
