Wild days of 2017 (and a bit of 2018) and earlier. When the true arb spreads were huge. Not in btc/usd pairs, because that was not rinse/repeat. But others.

You have to run a spike removal algorithm on the data yourself to make sure.

Well yeah but there are a lot more dryers than there are bitcoin miners. At least I presume so. Who knows what vast warehouses of miles and miles of bitcoin miners there are in China.

Alright, so you're basing your opinion of Medved Trader on using a different application 15 years ago.

You couldn't have used Medved Trader 15 years ago, it didn't exist back then. And yes, in MT you can build custom studies, in C#, and apply them to charts (as paintbars) and to portfolios (as scans). Not sure what applying a custom study to a position means.

The answer, I presume, is A? Although I guess that would depend on what a "Pegged Order" means exactly.

It is not usually an "I borrowed from this guy, now he sold and I need to cover" situation. There are hundreds if not thousands of borrowers and hundreds if not thousands of long holders. The situation of shorts' undergoing a force buy would require that the whole pool of longs that was...

It's called a "forced buy in". They don't happen often.

:) well. I didn't expect it to be this good, but I did think when buying that if the underlying shot to the moon the volatility would hold up put prices. The puts would have lost me $ if it only went to like 80-90. And didn't take a trip to 184 in between.

Yes. Laughing all the way. It was a small trade, since GME is just too much of a tiger to ride, but it was fun.

Well, the right to sell, not to buy. As for why - because the volatility increase drove the option premiums to the moon :) See the "hilarious" in the title.

02/24/2021 15:30:12 Bought 10 GME Mar 12 2021 43.0 Put @ 3.5 (GME was 63) 02/25/2021 15:46:32 Sold 10 GME Mar 12 2021 43.0 Put @ 4.85 (GME was 124)

Here is a funny roundtrip Salty: 02/24/2021 15:30:12 Bought 10 GME Mar 12 2021 43.0 Put @ 3.5 (GME was 63) 02/25/2021 15:46:32 Sold 10 GME Mar 12 2021 43.0 Put @ 4.85 (GME was 124) Way less stressful than shorting stock.

Salty: that is not a healthy way of trading, I am sorry to say.

Gotta love the options action. Yesterday when it jumped to 60, March 12 strike 43 puts were around 3.6. Right now it is at 128. Same puts are around 4. Put buyers couldn't lose.

The supply of fools seems to be endless.

Karl Marx: History repeats itself, first time as a tragedy, second time as a farce.

In Medved Trader, in both P&F and Renko charts, you can specify box size as a %.

"Hackers" don't own quantum computers. It is a bit pointless to spend $100s of millions and decades of effort to steal someone's bitcoin keys worth a few mil. And after the first few such steals (and most probably, quite a bit before that), the encryption of keys will increase in difficulty...

First of all, the most powerful quantum computer in existence is I think at 64 qubits. Not thousands. Second, "quantum computer" is a bit of a misnomer. These extremely expensive experimental systems are custom built for a particular computing problem, usually a pretty esoteric one, and are not...
