And you could use all the same strategies that someone is using, but if you dont know how to use them, why to use them, or the enviroment to use them, it really dosent help. options are priced very efficiently, so if you dont have an "edge" its a losing game for you as a retail trader. Heres a...

Man let me tell you about my journey.Ive been at this a good 10 years. I started stock/option trading at 17/18. Im the type where when i get into something i want to know everything about it. I read all the reccomended books, natenberg, euan sinclair, talebs dynamic hedging, hull, any volatility...

I went short uber in options on thursday, it dropped 2.5% friday. We will be hitting new lows before it goes back up. I wouldnt say its "undervalued" because they lost 5billion last quarter and their business model isnt stable or profitable.

I read a study once, I wish i could find it because its relevant here, but the gist was about how olympic runners trained, some did high intensity, some did longer slower runs like you. The conclusion was the best training incorporated all types of training to constantly shock your body and work...

No not primarily 1-3-2's. I still have to work on scoping best opportunities for that type of play. But I do use them. I have a good mix of strategies and use whats appropriate given the circumstances. Dest's influence is probably about 25% of my trading. Discretionary Vol and directional bets...

Mark Brown is a tastytrader on crack. It's painfully obvious he's no professional.

Hey guys, id like to get a discussion going here. TheBigShort did a great thread on calendars, and id like to have one on Butterflys. If any pros could give some input it would be much appreciated. @destriero got me thinking when he was posting in his sons journal about "flys into IV skew" I...

post his positions next time, im curious. especially what he was holding during those down days.

what kind of positions did he have last week well market was falling?

If you have the time could you show an example of boxing off? Thanks. Im having trouble visualizing it, if its what i think it is or something different.

I notice he's mostly negative delta, postive theta which he learned from you. So question, im assuming most of these positions would be flies. Whats the reasoning behind holding neg deltas? Are you comfortable holding -d in a bull market? Are you expecting the gains from the theta to outweigh...
