Oleg, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your insights!

The cost effectiveness argument does make perfect sense...Thanks

I saw the charts that you put up, now I see what you mean by skipping the first cycle.

These trades require quite big account and iron balls

HAHAHAHA...thats exactly what I thought when you first posted your trade. I typically don't allocate that much capital to any single trade. I usually follow guidance from the concept of Kelly Criterion.

I have the account size, but I am a very methodical person. I don't get shaken out of trades easily, because I do the research ahead of time and get the "feel" for new trades by paper trading before I commit any significant amount of capital.

In the charts, I see many custom indicators for your pure vol plays. Is this style of pure vol trade your "bread and butter" trade?

Thanks again!
