#volatility
Doe anyone have a way to screen for the stocks with the highest IV or short term volatility?
Obviously GME would be on the list.
But what others?

VMIN anyone?

#volatility What a day for…
What a day for trading volatility. I’m buying and selling UVXY and calls the next couple of weeks out. Range is $19.50 to $21.50 seemingly heading higher. Nice short-term trades. I’ve closed March 29 $20 puts for nice gain. It sold for $1 as late as $20.15 this morning.
Lowest TICK readings since Feb 8th.
This is most whipsawing I can remember seeing in years.
Volatility…how’s it going?
Not sure about you guys (gals) but overall I’m fairly happy where most of my positions stand even though account is red today. Fairly big batch of weeklies rolling off the next two weeks. Definitely not getting rewarded for those today. I think the losses today can be attributed more to volatility expansion instead of adverse movement in the stock in a lot of cases.

UVXY called away my March 16 $10 calls, now short shares. Looking for ways to limit margin (calls) should price rise sharply.

Sell March 16 UVXY $10 call for $3.95, presently $13.93

#OptionsExpiration #Monthlys #Jun16 – A big expiration this month. I’ve been carrying some of these positions since early in the year.
Wide strangles in $DUST, covered calls in $NUGT, and lots and lots of #Volatility shorts are rolling off.
Only 1 assignment this week, and a light week next week.

BTC Jan 2018 $100 Calls for $57 (margin sale I didn’t see coming), sold $19.25 4 months ago. Once again held on too long expecting pullback that never came. Painful lesson. It has taken so many small trades to get wiped out in one extremely bad trade is disheartening.

#Markets #Volatility #Gold – levels to watch – previous turning points from late Feb ….
$SVXY / $UVXY – the last SVXY bottom was 118.39 while UVXY topped at 23.85.
$NUGT /$DUST when gold futures touched 1260 (now at 1245), NUGT peaked at 12.28 while DUST bottomed at 26.30
My opinions fwiw:
UVXY is unlikely to reach the prior peak until after SVXY violates its prior low – selling UVXY “Weekly” calls in the 30’s seems like a winning move vs. SVXY Puts. They can always be rolled.
DUST is much closer to it’s previous low than NUGT is from its high. A 28% move in NUGT would just about do it, but DUST would drop 28% to 21, over 5 points below its last bottom. I’m hanging on to my short DUST calls for June (65) and Jan 2018 (90) until that happens. I will continue to roll down DUST puts as needed.
