Something strange happened: Over night i got way more excess liquidity with IBKR .. they must have changed something in their margin calculations like a tweak to their "concentration penalty" or so. just FYI ..

Closed mine for 80% profit (-1 -> -0.2), but also too early :D

No. Be louder .. i got some -315c open for this week as insurance :D ok ok .. i go to the other thread again :p

no. we hover around 311-313.. which is the 50% retractment line (if you draw your fibs to ath->year low).. at least thats what i got on my chart .. :D

we just hit 311.90 whih i had marked as 50% retractment from jan high to year lows.. aaand we just broke it.

long calls or covered calls?

Exactly what I think, too. In the last interview Powell stated that the biggest learning from the 70ies inflation-cycles was, that the rates got lowered too early. So he wants them high until Inflation comes down, let them stay at that level for longer and make the Job-Market more...

yup. they were to aggressive .. as i have been too aggressive on the split.. I thought that worst-case i had that friday to close them .. but we opened up hard negative there & i chose to roll instead of close them for a loss pushing the can further down the road. They are still very aggressive...

i read 2:30pm earlier today ... but maybe that was not given in the right time-zone? .. edit: it is indeed 8:30 am CPI Release Schedule .. thanks for the hint & reminder!

trail hit at 6.70 on the small downtrend. I wanted to cover that position in fear of bad CPI-Reaction tomorrows anyways. Also rolled the 280p->285p on my sep 23 305/280 BPS for 1 buck, have another order set up to roll up 285->290 as well. I got hit very hard with sudden SP drops for no reason...

and rolled my few -300c to -305c as we hit 305 .. (out a week, up 5. this time for a small debit (0.2 or so)). if we continue they will soon(tm) reach the dec +300c .. :D but that position gives more theta than the 300c cost, has similar delta and will always be around ATM (or OTM if the SP...

Has noone posted the >300 yet? Or have i just not noticed it? ... 😅

i know .. still haven't bought them .. and they are taunting me every time i go into the appropriate section in the app .. :D

:( i bought 10x 295p when we hovered at 28 for 0.5 ... Why can't the MM hit the <295-target the one time i try to profit off them as well?! .. :( lets hope they get it under control with heavy naked shorting in the last hour and the have to unwind it by monday :D

in comparison to the company that installed heated rear seats without me ordering it & then offering me to unlock it for 300 bucks.. :D
