sold (open) -10 Feb 2016  $123 puts at $0.35

Why did I place this trade?

  • stochastics in oversold region

  • implied volatility still high (so high premiums)
  • 3-day weekend (so 3 days of theta time decay ... I LOVE 3-day weekends)

buy back all 10 puts at $0.03

Comment:
This is absolutely amazing.  My trade filled at $0.03 even though the "mid" price was $0.14.  
I figured the market makers must have wanted to make $30 instead of nothing.  Good for them for taking my bid!

PROFIT:  $320 (in TWO trading days!)


SUCCESS!
