Agree about casino. I find it a bit gross and obscene to profit off stealing from the middle class and poor like this, but at least it's predictable these days. I was buying almost zero cost spreads near the bottom that have absolutely exploded.  For example, I had a bunch of

    SEP 18 5600 (+1)
    OCT 4 5700 (-1)
    OCT 4 5800 (+1)

    They absolutely exploded higher this week.
    I had the same setup going to the downside. Because I had most setup as nearly zero cost and a credit in some cases, I lost very little on the downside put protection, but I could sleep knowing I was good if we opened up down 150 SPX points (or more).

    This trade required massive movement in a short time to work. But that's what we've been getting, so it was a no brainer to put it on in size.
