Today’s Trades

None. Nothing cleared every gate this run.

Gapped Past Entry

None. Both put candidates moved toward their entry today rather than away from it.

Rejected, and why

GOOGL Nov 20 $355C. Delta 0.52, spread 1.9 percent, IV 35.6 percent, theta 1.5 percent a day, open interest 31.7k, all clean. Fails on breakeven $370.85 needing a 5.0 percent move against the 3 percent ceiling, volume only 203 against the 500 floor, and bid size only 19 against the 20 floor.

MS Nov 20 $185P. The closest candidate overnight, and it improved. Spread tightened from last night’s 6.8 percent to 4.5 percent, and breakeven $176.05 is now only 2.8 percent away as MS kept falling after its print, both inside the gates now. Delta 0.56, IV 31.0 percent, theta under 1 percent a day, open interest 2.5k, all clean. Still fails live liquidity, volume only 23 and ask size only 10, both well under the 500 and 20 floors. A contract that clears every quality gate but cannot be filled with confidence is still a reject.

APP Oct 23 $270P. Spread 12.9 percent, IV 56.4 percent, open interest 540, volume 6, and only 9 days to expiry against the 21 to 60 day window. Multiple hard fails, clear reject.
