Default E-mini SP 500 hedging trades
Hi all,
speaking little here, but I hope that changes soon.

But currently I only trade short gamma strategies with SPY and ES options, I am starting to trade E-mini S&P 500 Futures to hedge part of my options portfolio.

I want improving the evolution of my equity reducing drawdowns and making better my Sharpe Ratio.

Let’s see how it works.

Default Re: E-mini SP 500 hedging trades
MyEdge started this thread CURRENT POSITIONS

-35 SPY AUG10 112/117 Bear Call Spreads @ 0.40909

-33 SPY JUL10 84/89 Bull Put Spreads @ 0.38632
-22 SPY AUG10 90/95 Bull Put Spreads @ 0.3962

Last week I closed some bear call spreads and now I'm too exposed to down side. If E-mini breaks through 1005-1010 I'll hedge put side shorting futures.

Regards
