15 handle on the $VIX. Lol this is getting wonky

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@michaellistman I guess I just am too cautious hahaha. Waiting to get in at a better point.

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@michaellistman Like watching paint dry. The strikes are too chunky so I’ve been playing in uvix instead.

@VolatilityVIX This is the state of the retail “investor/trader”. I think the honest answer here is a mil and that’s for a very basic life here in the northeast. Assuming also you are good.

@Mr_Derivatives I usually short the market by selling out of the money calls. Or whatever I’m shorting for that matter. Mostly of course

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@Mr_Derivatives Closed all my short vol positions today. The risk/reward window on my trades shifted too much this week. Not a bad problem but now I wait to play this carousel game again lol

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@William00406512 @Mr_Derivatives Implied vol my friend. Gotta know your Greeks

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@Mr_Derivatives Closed out all my short vol positions around 3pm today lol. It’s like clockwork at this point. Odd

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

Only the tough survive 🤣

@GuyDealership The last two weeks I’m average $3877 a copy on my wholesale transactions. Ran 13 cars, 12 sold through ACV

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@michaellistman I just want the reverse split to come so I can go back to doing more spreads….

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@GuyDealership Holy shit

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@ZeContrarian7 More like today lol

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

@michaellistman Yeah that curve is something wicked. Sucks that we are down in the single digits. Makes these options spreads too chunky IMO

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

Well that was a face ripping rally. Thanks JPow

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

Today I closed half of my short $UVXY position. All of the 10 and 15 strike dec monthlies at a strong profit. Only ones I have on the table currently are the Feb 20 strike monthlies, March 16 strike monthlies and June 16 strike monthlies. Way way below my normal amount. Waiting

[DJ Thompson @Vol__Trader]

In a pretty boring trading spot. On one hand this VIX curve is wild for a short. But I also don’t like shorting Vol when the VIX is at or below drinking age this year… I’m short deep OTM uvxy calls but not many for my portfolio size.
