why can’t a trader specialize in one: up or down?

I don’t think you can model weeklies well using a monthly surface. You will miss all the event vol from macro economic data which will massively skew your data.

Your froward will cause you to be off by 5percent annualized. Divs are an issue too. you are prob better off running everything in vol space and interpolating off the surface.

great. You found one strategy that has zero expected value. I gave you one that will lose money all day long and one that will eventually lose all your money. trade the opposite side of both and see how it goes.

Here’s two strategies buy on the offer. Sell on the bid. Over and over again. Sell atm puts in massive size (keep scaling if you are earning) so that eventually you get stopped out on a big sell off. Gamblers ruin guarantees you will lose everything eventually. There’s no opposite to it.

it depends. if you are long options you can create a gamma squeeze (good for you: see GME) or you can cause your own pin (bad). If you are short you can force a pin (good for you) or you can cause your own gamma squeeze (bad). It all depends on the counterparties behavior. No matter what...

trump won one election and led the repugs to total domination. The repugs squandered it except in the justices. And then trump has lost the repugs three elections in a row. The cons have given up the middle ground. Desantis is a smart and capable guy but he will have to explain his whackjob...

If I recall, options just exercise based on last official close. Long holders basically lose their theta. the dawn has some facts wrong. Trump didn’t shut the stock exchange down. It’s NYSE policy to shut the market down in honor of a dead president. When trump dies I will use that day to go...
