bullshit bullish trades filled yesterday: SPY Apr 20/23 call calendar @ $272 for 6c SPY Apr2 call fly, $268/270/272 for 25c (need a hard bounce to $265+ by Friday morning on this....too aggressive and paid too much probably but it was just a 4-lot.....) DIA call fly. Apr6 $247.5/250/252.5 for 13c
from Mar 27 now trying to close the 13c Apr6 DIA fly for 40c...it's got a 49c mid but no volume in the far leg is hanging it up

yeah hadda spend another nickel to get out fml but cutting losses is the way to play and diagonals are very risky but of course tomorrow the short leg will slide back below $266 and I will say fml again. Traveling tomorrow and do not need the headache....

heavily bullish book making bank at around 10% per day this week. AA $55/$60 Apr20 bull vert calls a highlight, bought a few weeks back for 25c, now worth $1.40....trade war premise....yes I am still bullish and think the spoos will grind up thru earnings season and we will see new ATH's in Q2.

Over at NADEX they've got pre-built vertical spreads. When the opportunity arises where I can get one when price is at the floor/ceiling, I'll hedge with one going in the opposite direction if I can find another cheaper one with price at the floor/ceiling. I go into the setup here: http://content.screencast.com/users/...0Mar.%2027.gif Here's last night's that played out perfect. Captured over 100% of the daily range for the pair. Hedged gbp/jpy again. $97/per bear spread....
JR97,

I thought Nadex offered only Binary Options. Do they also offer Vanilla FX options?

Thanks

Sensei,

"yes I am still bullish and think the spoos will grind up thru"

What is meant by 'Spoos"?

Thanks

They don't offer vanilla fx options but they do offer pre-built vertical spreads. If you're into premium collection with iron condors or other premium collection strategies, the nasdaq futures spreads have a lot of premium right now.

heightened iv's rolling into earnings makes for great trading ops for all kinds of strategies

I am looking at the Apr20 NFLX call flys out at $325/330/335 - with the ER on 4/16 those 4/20's are juiced up and you can get that pretty wide fly for 25c

NFLX can be counted on usually to pop 5-10% on earnings
