Volatility fabric.. kinda neat

Playing with semantics. When I say understand fully means understanding it’s mathematical formulae and it’s original intended use, as well as who created it (historicity). That’s what I was implying.

Hey now!! Let’s refer to indicators with gender-neutral pronouns, okay? Indicators aren’t only men!! Lmao I’m jk but seriously, the first and biggest mistake is traders thinking one indicator is the magic sauce? I’m not sure about this. I mean, everything exists.. I shouldn’t be surprised if...

ichimoku (like with all other technical concepts) probably works quite well. It’s just a lack of understanding by most who look into it. for every method of forecasting price, there’s the right person to implement it. The longer I look at how most ppl use technical indicators etc I notice...

yes improbable, thanks. well just cause (assuming) they don’t know what I mean doesn’t mean I can’t talk about it. Plus, hopefully the thread starter reads about my fly pin comment and sparks his mind to find out what it means. A fly is just a verticalized vertical. It’s two vertical spreads...

Nothing is certain, kid. Don’t lever up just to see spot slice right through your Ichi-clouds.

keep watching how the spread moves through space and time. if you sold a bull put vertical you received a credit. $XYZ @ $100 90/95 spread is quoted @ 0.98 You sold the 95 put, bought the 90 put, thus receiving a credit. Spread is $5 wide (5-0.98=$402 risk). If you’re familiar with the...

Do you contort your own ketler channels? Or just use the standard two ATR measure? Vol bands are useful visually. Are you talking about putting on ATM flies and buying the wings at the volatility band? I’m structuring a different method. Instead, I’ll look for stocks that have been selling...

lmao

OTM legs are preferred because of microstructure, but what if the current ITM strike volume/OI for the puts(calls) is higher than the OTM strikes? I’m not talking about deep ITM, more so at around neutrality. Does this have any factor in choosing for microstructure? Wouldn’t strikes with higher...

Since I’ve become a newfound lepidopterist.... I’ve discovered where Dest got the Atticus name. I present the Attacus atlas What an amazing moth fly. Notice the mimicry on the top tips of the wings, looking like lizard/gecko heads.

Fook Reddit! ET TILL I DIE LOL

I’m the same way! Always been fascinated by the ancient symbolisms, esotericism.... and options are another favorite topic of mine.. and Chris mixes the two. Love it.

All you fly enthusiasts on ET owe me a fooking dinner!! Eat up family! Thanks dest, going to digest this now!

hey! Nice new avatar! Lol

The whole team at Artemis do an incredible job with these volatility papers. His most recent paper “The Hawk and the Serpent” goes even deeper into esoteric optionality. Cole is a financial alchemist. The ouroboros imagery of the financial cycle is ingenious. I advise every market enthusiast to...

Here’s some moaaaaarrrrrr.. make sure you read all of Artemis Capital’s publishing’s (Chris Cole)..IMO one of the leading financial alchemists of our time. I enjoy his writings on optionality more than Taleb.
