Hea meant selling puts, i believe. And he averages down but instead of the underlying he just sells (longer term, maybe?) puts so he's avg entry is lower thanks to the premium.

Selling opt's give you premium in exchange for volatiltity risk. No matter how you think of it, there is no extra alpha in it.

In extremes like these you have a huge asymmetry by trader type - there's non-leveraged high quality buyers against leveraged shortseller speculators who keep calling the top just to get stopped out over and over again. Plenty of examples of the same type of "extremes" that have run much much...

another example with the 10Y yield. Today we have the same pattern, so we'll see how this unfolds.

could this be the path forward (see attached)? In the 90s, we were at similar situation. Rates rose rapidly, then peaked at 6% and then the FED adjusted it to around 5.25% or three cuts and then stayed there for years while having the craziest bull market in stocks. I deliberately used Dow...

There is no debt servicing problems in the era of money printing. We literally print to pay for debt. Those rate hike hiccups are always temporary in nature BUT temporarily they can rise very high to show the world that anything is possible. And then out of nowhere rates come down again. It's...

There are communication errors because interest rates themselves don't have much effect on inflation. It makes no material difference whether the rates are 5.5% or 4.5%. But it makes strong headlines. The decade after GFC saw basically zero rates and non-exisiting inflation (at least by the...

So, i am curious, Andy. You claimed you already have strategy with a sharpe of, what was it, 5? Why bother with ICT, then ? :) yeah...i know the answer...

Plenty of ICT strategies/indicators made by LuxAlgo on TradingView. You can check those out. It's a strategy just like any other strategy.

Dow jones has also rallied hard so it's not just europe. Probably something to do with options and/or thin liquidity. It will come down eventually but can reach 17500 too with this current boost. Who knows.

sluggish? SP500 has risen 13.5% in 1.5 months. You don't see that everyday. The effect is seen in the options market where implied volatility has collapsed during that last 1.5 months. This is the result of long option losses. But actual market swings have been quite large.

I can tell you right now. Sometimes you're gonna get 1, sometimes 10 :) Question is, what are you going to do with that info.

If your stop loss is higher than the TP and you do it both directions simultaneously then how can stop loss ever be touched before first TP? Or you mean that when the first TP is executed you will open another position at the open price should the price trade back there and then have a new at...

but if you sell market and buy market at the same time then you don't have a position?! :confused:

I don't understand your request. What do you mean place buy AND sell orders at open price? You mean you want to execute market order when new candle opens?

3 losses. Shorting now @ 16808, instead of waiting back to 16538. SL 17008 TP 16308 If tomorrow isn't a down day then regardless of what the FED will say on wednesday, it'll be a down day :)

I have no doubt that JPY will rise like mad EVENTUALLY. But holding jpy longs against majors costs a lot of money and market can be flat for months.

Closed. +300pips from CHFJPY +41 pips from NZDCHF cheers.

In a world where economic health solely depends on central bank printing i think adopting bitcoin as an official currency is the same as shooting oneself in the foot. The best for bitcoin is if we keep the status quo and occasionally light up narratives of how bad fiat money and governments and...
