I posted options trades on here for you folks to see how I do it. I want to make something clear though. Those trades have been profitable within days. This is because overall volatility is high and I sold the options then. As the VIX comes down the natural inclination is for the options to lose value.
Point being it seems easy but it really isn't. Since I posted the options trades the market is accommodating me that's all. Its been a great year so far for options trading because the VIX has had some two sided action.

MELI sitting at upper BB 125. Wait and see mode, this line has not been very supportive in the recent past.

gmg733 - ITA!
For anyone who wants to try their hand at options, this is the perfect market. In fact, this market is so volatile (up 300 one day, down 200 the next) you can play either side and make money on the weeklies.

Karen,
short what? Market?
I have about 26 short vol positions on and short delta hedge against that. So if vol spikes I don't lose my but because most likely market is going down.

VIX...sitting at BB125 on daily, this will attract buyers, maybe a bounce in UVXY under $17($16.50)

@ gmg,
I don't know what to do now. I sold everything April 3 &4. Now everything is back up.
I'm really upset.
I don't know what to do.
I don't feel comfortable buying everything back at higher prices.
In the last 10 days, I cudda made $5K just with the holdings I had.
