Because you don't bet on the stock here, you bet on the implied vol of the LEAP. SNDL is a 40ct stock and you pay 23 cts for the 50cts call strike at 117 IV. Meaning you pay half the price of the stock for an option...which has to double for your LEAP to reach break even price. But that's only...

I don't think you have time and the resources for that. SOFRs are mostly traded by commercials so your counterparties are full time wizzkids. Pricing and modeling is really complex and you should not expect any "free tools" to do that for you. STIRs in general are a shark pool of professionals...

The crucial mistake you're making here is the fact that you think in invested dollars. "Am I better off investing 100$ into ATM or ITM or is it better to invest 100$ into OTMs?" You cannot do that. Simply put if the stock rallies to 100$, you're way better if you invested into OTMs vs ATM or...

buying wings makes you a ton of money when you hedge deltas, stock tanks and they slide up the skew

thing is, in order for the gold price to go up, someone has to buy it...and I don't mean retail. It has not happened so far although we've seen basically perfect conditions for gold: Inflation, war and a global pandemic. If that doesn't boost gold, I don't know what will

No broker but exchange seat leases plus clearing house. For futures, you could try dorman. Lightspeed or centerpoint for equities and equity options

First of all, have you ever realized how much money there is out there and how little gold? If e.g. China invested their 2021 trade surplus into the annual gold production of every country there is, they'd still be left with 70% cash while completely cornering the gold market. In addition...

Physical silver is a no-go here in the EU. Opposed to gold, it has an actual industrial use case thus we pay VAT on silver purchases. Forget metals, dude. They are for big boys and fanatics. The days of the be all end all store of value of gold and silver are long gone, especially now since no...

I don't really want to repeat myself all the time, but I was soooo happy when I was finally able to leave IB. It's such a shithole. TWS is a nightmare, customer service is non-existent, mistakes happen all the time and risk management is realtime without human intervention. They liquidated my...

Gold has never been a hedge against inflation. Inflation adjusted it is a money killing asset. Compared to the good old days the physical market is massively regulated, you have to register when buying above x CHF or €, you have to pay for delivery and for storage, it's just a massive pain in...

REG NMS Rule 605 just states that off exchange trades cannot be filled at worse prices, meaning that when the internalizer offers at 31cts while the market is at 30cts, they're not allowed to fill you at 31cts, so your order is stale. Usually these orders are routed directly to the market when...

TD Ameritrade sells your orders to internalizers. The quotes you see on the platform are a consolidation of the entire market but that doesn't necessarily mean that an internalizer wanted to sell at 30cts. This broker is a shit - show. Use the platform for analytics (FWIW) but take your...

well...if you call a billion dollar stablecoin a neat experiment, I don't know what you'll call a normal experiment XD

thing is, you can shittalk all you want IF you have the balls to do something about it. I am not Buffet, you guys aren't Buffet and if anyone here thinks he needs to copy Buffets style because he's the greatest investor of all time, well then you are dreaming. This guy has more ways to...

Why on earth should they not allow it to be traded? SEC = world police? It was a transparent ponzi and everyone could see it because it was very transparent. You could see how many assets they had to back it, how the mechanism worked, all of that to the last penny. If you actually paid...

why would you disable that? What if someone got access to your account while you are on vacation and you don't even realize it? Leave it on and you will be annoyed a bit but forever grateful if that notification helped you prevent a disaster. People are fking stupid sometimes

I don't understand why retail never get's this... If I was making markets in this ticker, I would make sure to sell the options as high as humanly possible. If you buy straddles with a break even of 10% either way and the stock jumps 9% you lose, period. It doesn't matter if he made the right...

it's the bare minimum...anything with less info is just a brochure

oh boy, I hate to rain on your parade but you have a looong way to go. Before you do anything in options, make sure you really understand what drives prices. I know that it may sound appealing to a beginner that you can buy a put and a call and just wait for the stock to move. When you trade...
