    How to create an Excel table containing butterfly prices

    Kevin, Many thanks for writing this great post. Maybe I was not clear enough but I was not asking for a specific advice when to exit from my current trade.

    How to create an Excel table containing butterfly prices

    Kevin, Many thanks for looking into this and giving your very helpful advice. It also didn't make any sense to me to have $75000 risk on 990P/940P credit spread which I could eliminate entirely for a small debit. I played with different configurations and ended up with this remaining position as...

    How to create an Excel table containing butterfly prices

    Kevin, I would like to ask your opinion if my current Apr 16 M3 consisting of 2 lots looks healthy to you. As you said in your previous post, all greeks for a combined position look good but Vega is positive for lot 1 as RUT trades almost 40 pts outside right leg. I am still trying to decide if...

    How to create an Excel table containing butterfly prices

    Kevin, After watching your interview with John Locke , I am under impression that you manage your whole monthly campaign as one large position regardless of the fact that you open different tranches at different times.

    How to create an Excel table containing butterfly prices

    Kevin, I watched the episode of CD TG 2 session where Ron Bertino at great length discussed a volatility skew effect. During this session he mentioned the article which Dan Neagoy wrote on Dec 3, 2014 in his trading blog...

    How to create an Excel table containing butterfly prices

    Kevin, I do not want to be a pig and hope it will not be too much to ask you to make a short video where you will show how you collect, process and interpret volatility skew data. A couple of examples where you adjusted because legs were in wrong place would be a great help for anyone who is...

    M3 - The best strategy?

The closer your shorts...
