Considering you call yourself “the worst commodity trader”, you have a pretty decent win rate from what I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing man. Really appreciate what you guys do.

Followed you into this trade with the long $92.5 call and short 2x $100 calls for $0.34. As I have also 2 short Puts at $55 it required no additional buying power.

I wish you guys posted another, smaller, trade as well. Nonetheless this is still useful as I'm sure this will be a trade I'll be able to put on eventually. Thanks 🦇

Solid video Bat!
Definitely a big boy trade
I’m a Jonny lol
Sticking to MCL. Have a strangle from a few days ago.
And man even in MCL it can grow teeth lol
And margin too haha
So it’s DEFINITELY something for people to be aware. So I’m glad you mentioned that in the video.
Managing size is what short premium is all about.

💯

Why not a typical strangle? What makes one choose this strategy instead?

[truthwillalwaysprevail]

Thanks for explaining it. At what point you close it to minimize the lossit. What happens if it goes above your short leg. Is it cash settled? Can you roll it to prevent loss?
Will you use MCL for a small account?
