BNF remains bearish and I have made a few adjustment.

Exited 19500 CE (in profit) and 19500 PE (in loss).

Added 2 bearish legs, sold 19200 CE and 19300 CE (Nov).

Current open position
Sold 20000 PE (Nov) at 410
Sold 19500 PE (Nov) at 239
Sold 19000 CE (Nov) at 750
Sold 19200 CE (Nov) at 415
Sold 19300 CE (Nov) at 361



Positions booked already
Sold BNF (Nov) at 19950, exited at 19588 = 362 points profit
Sold 19500 CE (3rd Nov) at 116, exited at 139 = 23 point loss
Sold 19500 CE (Nov) at 366, exited at 263 = 103 points profit
Sold 19500 PE (Nov) at 239, exited at 490 = 251 points loss

We are going to get into big event tomorrow (US elections) and having shorted options before a big even can be disastrous. Therefore to hedge I need to either book shorted options or hedge by buying some options.

I am booking 19000 CE at 599 now (bearish leg profit booked)
I am also exiting 19200 CE at 463 and 19300 CE at 400.

I am buying 2 lots of 19400 PE at 363

Current open position
Sold 20000 PE (Nov) at 410
Sold 19500 PE (Nov) at 239
Bought 2 lots 19400 PE at 363

Positions booked already
Sold BNF (Nov) at 19950, exited at 19588 = 362 points profit
Sold 19500 CE (3rd Nov) at 116, exited at 139 = 23 point loss
Sold 19500 CE (Nov) at 366, exited at 263 = 103 points profit
Sold 19500 PE (Nov) at 239, exited at 490 = 251 points loss
Sold 19000 CE (Nov) at 750, exited at 599 = 151 points profit
Sold 19200 CE (Nov) at 415, exited at 463 = 48 points loss
Sold 19300 CE (Nov) at 361, exited at 400 = 39 points loss

I had bought 2 lots of 19400 PE before U election results at 363 which became 750 next morning which allowed me to book one lot. However as I had not updated the forum here with the same I will assume I never booked anything and still holding all positions

Often the position are not delta neutral but guess intention is so once the price starts to move in intended direction. This is an interesting series.

Yes - its difficult to be delta neutral always as sometimes carrying a small bias pays off well along with the Theta benefit.

If it goes the other way, any loss due to delta bias gets offset by Theta benefit.
