my fly on aapl got killed..
bought for 3.90 665/675/685
expiring worthless as we speak... grrrr.
believe it or not it was in profit twice.. once this morning while i was sleeping..and the other time the day i put it on.. it was going for 417 but i couldn't close it out because of...
i'll tell you my fucking run.. i'm down almost 500 bucks on a 5k account i opened with TOS... thats hemorrhaging cash... pissed about it... i'm not scared to say.. "i don't get this yet!" fuck impressing anyone
that sounds like a calender ratio of some sort.... the idea is to catch the vol increase in ATM's and OTM's and pay for it with DITM front month (the month expiring before earnings) that actualy makes sense..
I want experience working with at a fund... but I have no credentials!Haha. Being a programmer that is fluent in risk management I'm sure you can find work
That's actually really cool. I can plot historical verse implied in interactive brokers.. I'm learning to.program indicators in ninja trader.. I'd love to associate volatility and volume .. you can't pull in options data into ninja... I know I'm gonna have to.use excel...
No shit!!!!! The whole idea was to gain freedom. Not be glued anxiously to a fucking screen.. but hell you can delta hedge long term options and you can buy firm leaps. Or wide back month flys..
I don't have a lot of money... and I trade options... I'll tell you what. You tell me a trade in Fx and I'll replicate it in different options strategies and I'll follow your trade in options...
My advice is if you have an edge in.forex don't try to push it... it only takes compounding 5-10 percent a month with compounding interest your account will accurefast!
Exotics are like binary options and over the counter stuff like swaps... vanilla options are the ones I trade. There is no reason you can't trade in options and futures now... its not as complicated as people make it out to be
