    Why have you not made it as a trader yet?

    Theres no such thing as a 'real edge'... Then whats a fake edge? Sellers who claim their system works for subscription residuals? Edge in its truest form doesn't exist. Its a made up concept our human minds formulated, same as the concept of probability theory. You either make a profit, or you...

    Why have you not made it as a trader yet?

    Not nearly enough risk capital to truly trade the size and method that I want. $15-30k accounts aren't that bad but I'd much rather (obviously) have $300k to risk instead. Maybe this means I'll just lose more money but I doubt it, I've been net net positive since I really quantified my strategy...

    I want this journal to evolve into a technical quantitative thread. Using charts with numerics and discovering price across time. I'm currently focused on the phenomena known as the "selling climax", or "short queeze" which occurs to a stock when the underlying (usually, but not always) gaps...

    So hes buying/selling certain strikes based off the current vol-figure? And doing it on a daily/weekly basis since this type of strategy doesn't work in the longer-term? Or I could be wrong? I really don't know much about it but its fascinating.

    $RAIL - FrieghtCar America Inc. There was an initial pop on Nov 21 but price quickly retracted. We are at the exact same level RAIL was at the last time it popped. I got in last week @ $1.98 risk. Notice how the pinch is setting up on the weekly as well which confirms the play even more-so...

    $SLMP - Summit Midstream As you can see from my chart, SMLP had a beautiful pinch back in the end of August (which I traded). And now its selling off hard and sitting cleanly on the bottom diagonal. Although this is considered a wide pinch and I'd rather have the PPO/ADX closer such as it...
