    Trader on Reddit made $20 million this year , $1-3 million profits each trade

    His dropdowns are small because he only allocated 2-5% of his capital the trades yet still 20-50x his money. If anything, he is betting sub-optimally by Kelly and leaving money on the table. I am looking into this more closely. Yeah, he has lost money on some trades but if he can make a 10-50x...

    Trader on Reddit made $20 million this year , $1-3 million profits each trade

    I have no idea, it does sound too good to be true, yet we do have proof before our eyes. but I will be paying closer attention to the 0-day NDX options though.

    Trader on Reddit made $20 million this year , $1-3 million profits each trade

    look at this guy's post history https://old.reddit.com/user/Fausterion18/submitted/ Yeah, I know people can lie, but his method is obviously quite good, to say the least. His secret sauce is 0-day NDX calls. He buys them "out of money" an hour before the market close and then they cash settle...

    Dow 30 All Time High By Dec 31st 2022

    Healthcare stocks are great. Tons of sick, obese Americans. Lots of $ from employers coughing up $ to pay for it all. Insurance is a great business, especially health insurance. Jack up those rates annually way higher than inflation.

    Dow 30 All Time High By Dec 31st 2022

    the djia is a beast. it shows the power of having an index composed of only the best stocks and by periodically removing the weak ones. It does better than hedge funds, active mangers who have entire teams of PhDs making 7 figure trying to figure this stuff out.

    No more overnight activity , sell strangles/straddles

    Markets have gap risk on Sundays. You sell the straddle on the weekdays after the market close, usually an hour (after major companies have reported earnings). And cover the position before the open at either 7:30 AM or 6:30 (depending if there is news). The CPI is always released an hour before...

    No more overnight activity , sell strangles/straddles

    AFIK, the ES/NQ has not had an overnight swing of more than 1.5% since June 2022 . It stays within a .5% range from 6:00 PM (when afterhours trading stops) and 7:30 (market open). If there is data like CPI, then instead of 7:30, it would be 6:30. This is in part due to the overnight drift...
