No one can give a straight answer to this. Basically you are asking: "When I am net long, and my underlying instrument is decreasing in price, what can I do ?" Some considerations: - Important one: does your bias of the instrument future price changes with this new information? And if so, in...

I have a background in DS (job). I think it is rather impossible to find something using your laptop or cloud computing and your Python and R scripts, given the AI competition. You use only price as input? I think a simple momentum system eg ‘If it moves it moves’ will have better results (I...

In general when you put in a hedge for a postion your margin will be less, since your risk down. If the market moves in direction of your hedge you can eventually close your hedge

Hedging can give a lower drawdown. If your profit/drawdown ratio increases you can make relatively more profits by risking more. Suppose your capital =100. In 1 year you can make 12 and from historic perspective you estimate your max drawdown = 50. You can set up an hedge which costs 4 and...

you ‘save’ money and will be able to buy more at lower prices

It sure does..always be careful indeed. I just like the calls being made in this thread:thumbsup: and try to bring perspective

Probably, but he knows how to talk around. Vix > 35 is relatively rare, and an opportunity I think

You are right, but vix is near 35 now. That doesn’t happen often, and when it does, it will collaps the next trading day

I see some companies EVLV, ZI, LAZR won’t dip further. Probably buying oppurtunity?!

Vix 35 now. Of you look historic perspective the next day ( monday) it will be down most of the time.

Exactly, declines behave 'different' from rises. Some methods work in both ways, others don't. It all depends. Since we don't know the inner workings it's not possible to asses.

I do not know if it's possible, but you could ''flip'' your method to perform in a bearmarket, or trade your same method on an inverse instrument. Then you can mix money allocated to both 'methods' and maybe reduce your drawdown (the mix offcourse doesn't have to be 50/50). With this, also be...

Just bought some zi here@vanzandt

It could be interesting to set up a short vix, especially if this goes > 30 Selling ditm calls would be best I think, they will probably trade at a discount.

Another idea: Using twtr puts 16 sept 22: - 55 strike + 45 strike - 35 strike Should go for debit/credit around 0. Basically capping the upside and trade it for a cushion till 35 for it. I personally do not like capping upside, but it may be usefull for someone here.

It really is sometimes crazy to see the returns if you just .... sat on your hands. Had this experience a lot more than I like to admit :banghead:

I'm also using this type of strategy. Currently owning a lot of pfe calls 60. (not 'leaps' anymore btw, march 22) I try to sell shortdated calls - around atm - against them when I think they are overstretched to mitigate the costs of the premium, and (hopefully) catch a countertrend part of the...

:thumbsup::thumbsup::):)

Van is very busy loading up on SNAP at this level I think? :thumbsup:

I agee the probabilities are on your ( our) side, you can’t asure the next drawdown will be different from the ones before. We only have a finite dataset
