Yes that is true. Some statistical low-probability risk is ok. Even short term US Treasuries have risk as the US government could go bankrupt next month. But the statistical probability for that to happen is tiny. I have done some more research on the matter, and one may earn 3% annual return...

Conflict of interest. If the exchanges receive refunds and dividends they have the incentive to have the clearing fee's paid by traders raised. Ie. milking options traders even more than they do today. Could not the cash buffer be built up gradually from fee's alone and the OCC keep't as a...

Anything that gives stable income for low risk. Right now I'm parked in T-bills paying 0.16% and selling CSP's in SPY with 30DTE for 0.15% There must be something out there that do better than 0.31%

I'm looking for something similiar. A low risk strategy that is able to earn up to 0.50% per month.

Thank you. You are right, the nominal value of one ES contract equals 500 shares of SPY. (ES * 50) = (SPY * 500) It's done this why because the our kind politicians in the European Union has banned all EU citizens from trading the ETF/ETN products on US markets. Making our lives very difficult...

I would like to know the formula for calculating how many contracts of the ES future I need to be net long or net short to hedge a deep ITM SPY option. Example: If I'm long 10 contracts of SPY C 180831 275.0 how many ES I need to sell short. The options are deep ITM and I need to hedge for 1-2...

Thank you very much, yay they got monthly data too! :) If you ever find your way passing though Stockholm/Sweden I'd buy you a beer! :thumbsup:

Anyone know where one can find the historical weekly performance for a stock/ETF symbol? per week of the year. A web site or something that got this info. Just a simple straight list like this is fine: v.1 +x.x% v.2 -x.x% v.3 +x.x% v.4 +x.x% v.5 -x.x% .. v.52 +x.x% Data doesn't have to be by...

What is your max draw down (peak to valley) during that nine month period?

It's the same old application that was filed 2 years ago and rejected first time 1 year ago. I believe it was rejected because the underlying asset of the ETF is unregulated. The two Bitcoin futures are regulated by US Gov and an ETF/ETN using these as underlying asset have a much higher...

Agree with this. One can throw all ones money into a passive index fund like SPY/QQQ and receive 10% annually. An active trader can employ leverage so he should be able to generate a much higher return than a passive index investor that holds for decades without any leverage.

I use average 20% annual as a personal minimum target/goal for each year. Selected this as passive long term investing gives 10% annually and that is to slow to grow ones capital. If one start with $10,000 it will take decades to get somewhere (= reach $1 mil). With 20% annually one will double...

As others have stated, impossible to give an answer as it depends on different factors. I believe any trader regardless of style should be able as a minimum ballpark earn a annual 20% on equity/capital. If not they are wasting time and should just do long term investing instead of trading.

Anyone or know anyone who got funded by these guys? It was initially the Australian RAPACapIntro web site started by Michael Berman and Vladimir Krouglov. They sold it to some US guys and went on to start up PsyQuation, which is basically doing the same as RAPACap did, but now with a Austrailan...

Depends on the country you are living in. In many European countries one are able to deduct one third of interest against salary. If you get a $40,000 unsecured personal loan for 5% you pay a effective rate of 3.33% annually. You need full time employment of course to get a low borrowing rate...

Agree Sharpe is a not a good measurement tool of risk vs reward. A trader with with a 5:1 PL ratio would get lower Sharpe than a 3:1 even if the risk per trade is exactly the same. Due to punishment of up side volatility of positive returns. That greater returns equals greater risk are not...

Edge is that "thing" that generates Alpha. You know, positive statistical return and positive probability outside of pure randomness.

Looks insanely good to me. You are making an average of 0.20% per trading day, which pans out to ~50% for a year in linear return. And you are doing this for a annual draw down of only -3.74%, which is the cool thing. That gives you a ratio of 13.36x which is extremely good. It is over a...

Hej, 1600 är (var) en motståndsnivå baserad på tidigare topp i mars, därför inte så konstigt index varit "jittery" runt den nivån. Nu har vi brutit igenom som du sett. Nästa motståndsområde på uppsidan är ~1634

Do you have the alpha component (edge) figured out? If so why not do a high level design with APIs/interfaces split up into modules/components and outsource the development work to Indians, Vietnamese, Filipinos programmers. All needed is a bunch of code monkeys manufacturing lego bricks for...
