I dont know what's up. But this year, earnings are exceptional. I got killed only twice in Q1 (AAPL & LULU). It is very unusual. Not that many outliers.
and what about FXE/Euro options? In the light of the Sunday elections... Anybody?
I sold my iron flies (seems like it is working so...) and tight ICs ion FXE and Euro in May and June, all around 103 and 104 strikes in FXE and in Euro - 1.05 and 1.09 short strikes..
I sold June 1 st. d. strangles in SPY, IWM, XOP, FXE. More than I am comfortable with. Now my portfolio delta is 5 times smaller than its combined vega.
I hope we don't crash on Monday. I have very little short delta to save me, if we decide to crash. It feels very uncomfortable not being short market. I have no idea how people sleep knowing that they are long stocks

Made money in SPY, XOP, and FXE. IWM unched. Lost few bucks in QQQ. Overall, up 1.5% today.

CAT - sold unbalanced IC for 10.50 (four put spreads to seven call spreads) 93/96/97/100 in this week for tomorrow. Risk is about one to one.

I did iron fly in weeklys.
First loser this season. I am not defending this one. Taking a hit.
