AAPL slipping, so this is not gonna fly for $0.09. I need AAPL to sell off into the close, I have a $116/$117 call diag exp today and underwater on it, out on the death slide, but b/e around $118.15, so a dip below $119 is what I want to see...

t.f. I very much like these low cost diagonals you find, which has just given me a idea, first can you tell me the total $ amount it costs with margin and comms to do say 10 total contacts

AAPL keeps bouncing off $119. I need a break below. I pretty well fucked these AAPL diagonals. Coulda made good money on both of em, ...diagonals are a favorite strategy for me but in reality I don't have the screen time to play them short term, they just move too fast and I'm not around enough to make the right decision when it needs to be made.

got a selloff in the last hour, got out of the death slide for a $0.18 net loss, sucks but it had been over $0.60 down at one point...

doing diagonals at volatile ER's...I'm not so sure about that now....

classic. In the space of 20 minutes or so the trade went from being $400 underwater to over $340 in profit. You see that steep slope on the P/L upside? - that means things change very rapidly when the underlying price is changing fast.
