    Pairs Volatility Trading

    ideally in variance if that was available to you. Otherwise atm straddle is a good way to do it. you might have to adjust your strikes every once in a while as your Vega might get mismatched as one stock moves away from the other.

    Can you pay your capital gain taxes monthly ?

    I would pay nothing. You can have three good quarters and then a disaster where all your profits are wiped out. Then you have to go asking for your taxes back. also money you send the irs quarterly isn’t growing for you. That can be worth a few percentage points a year.

    Do you still get fear in a trade?

    For a descretionary trader, Fear and confidence are signaling factors if you understand them. it’s okay to be scared in a trade as it tells you you are thinking through the scenarios (as no brainer trades are like unicorns). It also can be bad because it tells you that there is a very toxic...
