So I traded like a crazy capitalist pig last night.

Moved most September options into October... normally I'd already be rolled a few weeks ago, but I've been slack.

Somehow I made some money yesterday, not sure exactly where.

Current problem children are:
CHF (Swiss Franc) - need it down
JPY (Japanese Yen) - need it up
CAD (Canadian Dollar) - need it back up (missed closing this one for a big win)
CL (Crude Oil) - need it back down around $65

@Luarien that's all very high brow for me.
I'm just a petty #capitalistpig .

The stock markets are random, therefore I'm selling both call and put options on #NKE ... for equality's sake ... and because it nets more money

#capitalistpig stuff:
my #delta is about flat, capital allocation a little bit more than should be considering overall market volatility.
Coming up on some #futures #options expirations for Russel & next week forex.
Need to do some rolling and maintenance.

... and I just decided to get long /ZB (US treasury bonds) as all the rest of my bonds/notes positions are very short... and hurting.

Working a bid just below current market price.

This morning I'm working some orders at price points I like.

Trying to #sell /NKD (Nikkei) and /GBP (British Pounds) above the current market price.
Trying to #buy /JPY (Japanese Yen) below the current market price.

Overall portfolio #delta is a little too positive... +250.

Today I opened these new trades:
1 long /NQ SEP future.

A mildly bullish /ES futures options iron condor in SEP.
Those got me to ~+250 deltas from -300.

I then decided to add a /ZS (soy bean) future to "interact" with my existing long /ZW (wheat).

... and then I decided to get short /ZT (2 year t-notes... like bonds)... as interest rates... and a bit of an offset against my overall portfolio positions

so #TSLA (Tesla) can do no wrong...

I didn't care, and placed a wide Iron Condor (a neutral position) in September options market before earnings:
+235P -240P -360C +365C

Basically I need the stock to stay between 240 and 360 to make money.

Stock up 10% to 330 in aftermarket... should work out.
I will look to close on the market open in USA.

#capitalistpig #trader #options #tesla #ironcondor #volatilityplay #earnings

gah!
Back up to >1000 deltas on my portfolio.
Need some short trades to level it out.

/YM (Dow Jones industrial average) looks like it might role over... selling above the market...

Filled.

@ernie hmmmm, interesting... probably they're just trying to cut costs.

This backlash doesn't seem to have hurt Visa too much considering it's stock is up ~30% on the year.

Maybe as a #capitalistpig, I'd consider shorting some September puts at the market open tomorrow... maybe around 130 if they've got some value?

#creditcardbacklash #visa #trader #options

Sold the /NQ call @ 18 deltas

Sold /ES again, looking for another down move.

#trader #capitalistpig #delta #short #futures

... and it worked out.
ES sold off and hit my limit order to close out.
Deltas back to being too long.

Looking to sell a Call in /NQ.

Maybe need to reload short /ES if it goes up again.

#trader #delta #short #futures #capitalistpig

now shorting /ES too... trying to reduce deltas and maybe get a few hundred bucks.

This is probably not a good idea 😂

#delta #trader #futures #short #capitalistpig

So my /NQ Nasdaq position got whacked on Friday before the close... -100points GAH!

Will have to wait and see what the market is thinking this morning.

It's giving me a lot of long delta; should sell calls or open a short position someplace to offset.

I'm awake and futures market is open...

I can buy back my stinking short /YM trade for a scratch or be greedy and try to get a few $$$ back...

Offering below the market.
Go greed, YAY!

#capitalistpig #trader #futures #/YM #dowjones #short

so I'm a #CapitalistPig, sorry for that, but even Marx traded stocks a bit...

With all the Facebook shit going down, I decided to make a little play.
FB got hammered when the whole data breach thing played out, stock suffered. Many people ended up on here (yay!)

I started selling put options all the way down.
My thinking was, 'while we are pissed, 'the market' tends to not give a crap about that, they want profits'.

So, #confession, technically I'm LONG Facebook
