Then doing Martingale shenanigans it produces stable and nice return curve. Doubling the bet size of each losing trade. Works until it doesn't, lol.

Of course. Staying in a trade over the weekend is common.

Yep, SPXW.

No plain long calls or puts. I trade verticals.

directional momentum? it's hairy dealing with the short term time decay and gamma. Sure it may work, it's just another vehicle among others right. My thinking is futures is generally more efficient for these kind of strategies. My bread and butter is trading the SPX weeklies, mostly because I...

Edge is what generates Alpha. It's your advantage you got in the market. It also applies to business and entrepreneurship. An business may have one or more advantages (logistics, production, sales, marketing, whatever) over other competing business in the same product/market.

Trading crypto instruments is the same as trading Forex currency pairs. Not everyones cup of tea.

Sure, but they don't have S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 or Dow Jones options which is what people want. Have zero interest in trading crypto related instruments, like coins, tokens, etc.

I shouldn't really complain, because the market makers need to eat, the HFT firms need to eat, the hedge funds need to eat, the prop shops need to eat, the professional traders need to eat and the semi-professional traders need to eat. It's actually good for everyone that volumes and activity...
