in 4 XJZXJ Dec10p @.75 that's not how I imagined the remainder of the day unfolding. Thought I would pick up that single call first #msg-32788841 and then an outside chance of rising to the put fill. I guess I was asking for too much to unfold with limit orders. Now I'm sitting negative on both sides. kinda sucks LOL xlf really took a jump... made for a bad entry on the puts. See what Tues brings. I/V drain whacks everything that much worse. The last time I saw the I/V it was * 113+ for the calls * and 115+ for the puts I tried to compensate in my head a bit higher vix for the call order and a slightly lower drain on the way up for the put order It obviously wasn't enough and/or the xlf shot up higher than I thought it would. Is no way to make the calculator predict I/V movement It's just for the ball park
