Tues 21 Jul 2020 Morning Notes

I'm fairly certain I've said this before, but I've gone from "straddle man" to "ratio man". Been trading a ton of ratios lately, have just seen a lot of relatively low risk (low risk, yet short options?) opportunities where it's possible to put on ratios for either even money, chump change, or a healthy credit, then flip it shortly thereafter for a nice credit. Yesterday, I flipped the TSLA wkly 3k/3.5k 1x2 ratio, and loaded up on the 450/100 wkly 1x4 put spreads (even money, but can't pass up the risk/reward even though the odds are probably near 0 for a payout.
