@greg .... I'm interested in your trades also. Have traded options myself quite a bit over the years and have a decent knowledge. Pretty much only use them now for synthetic shorts or protection. Will also trade the odd short term index options when the spy or qqq gets way oversold. Nevertheless, everyday is a learning day ...

Oh damn it! FOOLED again.
Out of everything, including AMZN.
I can't take this volatility. Makes me too nervous.
Apparently, there was similar volatility in FEBRUARY ... I guess I wasn't watching.
I don't remember a thing.

sell to open strangle on XLI, 70 May18 put and 78 May 18 call for a credit of 1.23 (per one lot or contract)
Will take profits at .74 debit or manage accordingly
this happened earlier today. I've been on the road doing my day job. You can get in at about 1.16 which is still good.
