Hi David... Good news is that I made a new friend in your forum ... Sixcarbs is amazing!!!
However, we have not been able to correctly solved the puzzle... I sent you a detailed PDF and a spreasheet last Monday...not sure if you saw it....
BUT I just found a new clue to the puzzle... I...
Using May's numbers, Delta=2840 and Gamma=3021... Do you want to send me the spreadsheet even in raw format and I can play with it ....i can add or delete contracts, play with the signs, etc... sometimes another set of eyes helps?
Hola...here is the May Expiration SPX Options Chain.... Answer hint - We will know exact May numbers tomorrow...BUT they should be around these levels: May Delta = 2,842 and May Gamma 3,034.... Not sure how hard is for you to compute the numbers.... would be curious if you get something...
yes
I will send you a spreadsheet with may option chain and then we can see how the numbers match tomorrow when he publishes the may expiration numbers
Well... he ain't a nice guy like you...as a matter of fact he is a pretty mean guy....so he won't tell me what he is eliminating... did you set this up in a spreadsheet?
Delta = 2,834 ( so I think that is right in the money)
Gamma=3,121
So 2 things that I can think about:
a) Are you setting this analysis spreadsheet as a short straddle?
b) In his definition he says "Extreme out of the Money options may be filtered out for some options".... Maybe we can play with...
Well...I will know tomorrow morning since this particular analyst sends numbers at 8am.... I will let you know as soon as I get them.... NOW I WON'T be able to sleep all night to see those numbers so I can send them to you... Thank you SOOO much for all your help...Will let you know first thing...
I will send you a spreadsheet at the end of the day since CBOE is still open now... better to get end of day complete numbers.... THX so much for trying so hard!!
I have been doing some research and I think I found what they are called... it is called a "Zero Beta OR Zero Delta Straddle"... once we get the Delta Neutral then we can figure out the Gamma Neutral
SO SO SO SORRY for confusion...ALL Data is for April 7.... the reason that you see the date April 11th is because that was the date that I wrote the PDF and I created the spreadsheet...and I just used that tittle...sorry if it was confusing April 11 was just a tittle of document to keep track...
Dear David,
I meant to send you this "more explanatory document" regarding the puzzle that I am trying to solve this weekend, BUT it took a bit longer than expected....
All the best,
Jorge
Hi ... I meant to get out this to You and David this weekend...but it took a bit longer to write it and make it clear.... Hopefully you have some ideas... I will send to David also... your help is highly appreciated....
Dear David...thx SOOO much for your reply... I will try to write something a bit more explanatory...your last sentence you mentioned that your priority is your "customer work".... how can I become a customer?
Dear David,
I discovered your youtube videos and I was fascinated. While I have studied and understand the basic concepts of options, there is a puzzle that I am trying to solve BUT I am having a very hard time and I was curious if you are kind enough to offer some help. You seem to be a...
