Ate a small loss on a NBIS call calendar, only to watch it rip after I bailed on it. So damn typical.

My only trade of note yesterday were two wkly call ratio spreads in CRWV that I flipped for peanuts. Ate a small loss on the first ratio spread, then flipped for a slightly larger gain on the 2nd spread. Vol ripped after I put the positions on, to the detriment of my short strikes. Kind of frustrating. I'm sure these will finish for max profit too, hah.

Monday 19 May 2025 Morning Notes
Flipped two straddles in CHTR on Friday, I was up about 50% in a straddle off the open that I pressed for more and bailed for +14%. I took the proceeds of that and rolled it into a second straddle that I ate a loss of -64% on. Of course today CHTR will move like 5%, as is tradition.
Earnings season slows down quite a bit this week, so it will largely be a single-stock news trading week.
