I think we can all agree this is absolutely wild. I cant recall if BTC long dated vol ever got to these levels. My september OTM options have completely lost their gamma. Wow
Not huge but also short naked Vega always causes me extra basis points in mental health. Short 6k Vega (Sep) against 2k delta (as of Friday). Let’s see.
Interesting to see $UNH spot price relatively unchanged over the past week, while the 30-day implied vol dropped sharply from 75% to 47%. Seems like the market is gaining confidence in a fair value around $291 (down ~55% from highs), despite ongoing legal issues. Could LVLD (long vol, long delta) be the play here?
Ecstatic to release first pod episode. I interview "Chicago Steve" a protail trader who has made his money through single name vol and real estate. We cover a wide range of topics please send me any feedback. I hope you enjoy :)

$ETHC.NE - Ether Capital, trading 50% to NAV. The company only holding Staked ETH. Management paying themselves some hefty fees. Anyone looking at this and have ideas on how to extract the value? businesswire.com/news/home/2…
Well this did not go as planned. Down $1mm on this position. But we live to fight another day. Thanks for sweating this one out. It wasn't easy to hold
Have people forgotten ARM has earnings next week? Im long quite a bit of event vol. Marked down 150k and might as well sweat this position out with you

I have had the fortune to work with some of the greatest traders of the last 30 years, besides their obvious superior intellect they all shared one trait, they had balls.
Just talked to my buddy and he said something that made a lot of sense to me - a lot of people try to find edges in complexity. In trading, the edge itself is simple. The monetization is complex.
