Check your broker future contracts cut-off, automatic rollover & auto-liquidation dates. For S&P E-minis (ES), usually you will be allowed to hold your positions in the front month contract until 1-2 business days prior to the expiration. Probably what you found on Google is an estimation or a...

Well, I already did. In fact, I have been long both RIOT and MARA from the 18-20s range. I sold a hell lot of cash secured puts and covered calls in the last 6 weeks, some expired and others expire in like 1-2 weeks time from now. I don't believe IV will immediately go down, in fact, I believe...

Don't you think you are a bit late to the party? Unless you have been trading those earlier already?

I don't get it, why is L2 so important for you? You won't be able to extract any useful information from L2 in my opinion. It's all market markets, algos & lots of hidden orders and you rarely see real orders sitting there.

It's called Vanilla Options under "Derivatives" (I am talking from the web interface, not mobile app), I don't use their mobile app.

Who said Binance options are only 1 day options? Currently they have a 12-Feb and a 26-Feb expirations. You can check out Derbit (https://www.deribit.com) as well.

Based on this assumption, if your net worth is all in stocks and you want to buy a car for $100k, you had to sell stocks from your portfolio worth $100k to buy the car, then 3 months after you did, the stocks you sold rallied up by 50%, you also over-paid for the car by 50%, because essentially...

Your questions are vague & not precise. From what I understood, an insider can profit (Or avoid potential losses if he holds shares in the company) based on his prior knowledge of non-public information. If you (if classified as an insider) know that the share price will drop and acted upon...

There are many inaccuracies in this article. First, not all brokers are direct clearing members, i.e. not all brokers can clear & settle trades directly with the DTCC. Some brokers will use a clearing member as an intermediary to help them clear & settle their trades. I don't know what RH does...

Silver might be different from GME. If the physical market is seeing a huge demand and trading at a considerable premium to the futures market and is expected to stay at a premium for some time (Basically when futures expire & delivery happens), this can be an excellent arbitrage for some...

In my opinion, what the Risk management clowns at Melvin Capital didn't recognize (Or they recognized but overlooked & ignored) is that the fund was having too many correlated & concentrated trades on the short side. Most of the short trades were mainly in those retailers who were already...

It took over a year (1999 to March 2000) to put in the real top in the market and give the "Internet Bubble" it's famous name. At that time, shorts started shorting highly valued stocks (With no fundamental value) like in 1998 probably and of course they got burned to hell, because a lot of...

The longs must be smart enough (Not the WSB longs), the other Hedge Funds on the other side must be smart to end this before the maximum pain point of short hedge funds is reached, because if the short hedge funds go under, the longs will no longer be able to collect their winnings & simply...

Yes, I do believe so as well, it will take longer than most expect and it will even get more irrational along the way that it will spin everyone's heads. In my opinion, we haven't reached the mass greed yet, which defines the real top in a bubble.

There is no naked shorts here. The short interest went above 100% simply because the same shares were lent out more than once. A holds 100 shares of GME. B borrows the 100 shares & sells them short to C (Who is actually a buyer). D borrows the 100 shares from C and sells them short to E (Who is...

Well it happened before in Herbalife between Akman on the short side and Icahn & Soros on the long side. Was it illegal? Don't think so, it was perfectly legal to raid the shorts if someone sees value in the company, you just need to have deep pockets.

Yeah, 300% margin for short positions looks like a joke with such volatility. I guess they are counting on the fact that it will be very hard to locate shorts anyway.

If you check Tradingview.com (And YouTube and other platforms online), you will find thousands of people posting trade ideas & charts with price targets & stop losses. These are not registered as investment advisors and as long as they write a small nice disclaimer mentioning that they are not...

Correction, CFA is not heavyweight on compliance & ethics, it's more heavyweight towards financial & investment analysis, pricing & valuing derivatives, portfolio construction, asset allocation, etc... Compliance & ethics don't represent much in CFA curriculum.
