    Repository of Option Theory Papers

    That happened today. The machine is an ancient PIII box running an ancient shareware FTP server, with limited bandwidth. I have restarted the FTP service with simultaneous connections limited to 100. It should run more smoothly now. I underestimated the level of interest in this type of...

    Price of an algorithm for automated trading.

    In what bizzarre parallel universe does Mark Brown have any reputation other than as a ghastly little self-promoter? I can assure you that no one in the upper echelons of the industry in either Chicago or New York has ever heard of Mr.Brown, self-annointed guru. Beau is a graduate of a fifth...

    parity and arbitrage

    Nice work plagiarizing Alan Lewis. If you are going to steal Alan's posts, at least provide attribution. Quoting in context would be useful also. I am assuming someone as stupid as you are could not actually be Alan. You are smarter than your younger brother RiskFree, but you are still...

    Options Mentoring

    RFT I sure hope you are operating from a jurisdiction with no extradition treaty with the United States. You are giving customized, individual trading advice and charging a percentage of the profits. You are soliciting U.S. clients on a public forum. YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED! The 1st...

    A Unique Model-Ecktrade

    A couple of comments. 1) two of the graphics on your home page appear to be missing. 2) Re: 15 or fewer clients. The Rule 203(b)(3) exemption does not apply if you "hold yourself out as a money manager," which you clearly do on your website. You're also actively soliciting clients...

    Buy BELOW the bottom, Sell at the top Day Trades-- Could someone do it?

    Thanks! I will try to get this one on in the morning, in reasonalbe size. I have resolved to take all of the trades you post and fade all the trades posted by Forex-Forex, increasemenow, MarketSurfer and the other consistent losers on ET. I will see how the plan goes. For some reason it is...

    Patty deMartin Morehouse, of course! Don't let her scary looks scare you. She will throw in remote viewing for free, and one of her little disciples will give you $1mm to trade!

    Treasuries back to 10% - Is it possible?

    About 70 or a little more This assumes the contract deliverable stays at 6% (they might move it back to 8% again) and the cheapest to deliver moves out on the curve.

    do most option buyers do the greeks calculations etc..

    No, almost certainly not. Beau W. graduated from a community college in Tennessee. Unfortunately there was no room for courses in options theory in the ag dominated curriculum. All he knows about options he learned from RiskFreeTrading. There is a slight chance that he means that the...

    do most option buyers do the greeks calculations etc..

    Oh no!!!! You are back! And just as ignorant as ever. I hope no one takes what you write seriously. One thing I can say with absolute certainty is that you are as dumb as a mud stump.

    How Do Options Make Predictions?

    That is because BlackD used the median absolute deviation (MAD at about 0.7 sigma) when he should have been using the average absolute deviaton (AAD) of sqrt(2/pi) or about 0.8 sigma. That would have given him a range of 92.00/108.00/ He should also run it around the forward price, but since...

    How Do Options Make Predictions?

    I think you, Maestro, Nitro, and Mark Brown should get together in the day room for a game of bridge. Maestro can talk abot his self-awarded PhD's, Mark can talk about his imaginary Cray, Nitro can wax philosphical on seventh-moment risk in short OTM vanilla put positions, and you can brag about...

    How Do Options Make Predictions?

    Welcome back! I was just about to go through PinTheStrike's previous posts to try to figure out who he was (knowledgable posters are few and far between here on ET) when I saw your post. The reason that Maestro posts infrequently is that for months after his twice yearly courses of...

    Are naked puts really this safe????

    DMO, MAW/RFT is not a quant. He doesn't even trade. He is a fake quant like Maestro except that he knows how to cut and paste from Wikipedia, Investopedia, and other sources. However he has no real understanding of what he is posting.

    Jelly Rolling short combos sure fire options

    Thanks for starting this thread/journal. I will be reading it with great interest. Post the trades real-time and I will take them with small size. I've been working on an ET screen scraper for real-time fading of consistent losers, but in this case I will follow rather than fade. Just...
