I make my trading f’ing intense. I made a ton yday on a simple trade based on a simple obsevation. Mkt has been kind of quite lately so once past midmorning it has been possible to sell strangles and if challenged eirher double down or just take off bad side. I was checking yday’s 2 sided pricing with hedges and what should have been $2.75 was closer to $2 so I flipped the script, bought and went off to catch up on other areas. I did complicate the exit but took out the full spread barely at end of day. No trading in and out, etc. i did glance over at screen every 3-5 mins but that is me. And I did not pick a side. I thought the puts would pay but no. It was the calls.

Btw I then ran numbers to support the trade and they came out mixed. That pricing wins most of the year, just not later Aug into Sept in some years.

Not direct. At least not yet. I did see a study that said higher highs in August on monthly usually resolve even higher.
