Fuck I have a major presentation tomorrow and here I was hoping for an awesome read before going to bed.... DISAPPOINTED! If anything, they should make a "Troll Indicator"

I've never tried that because you'd need to be right about direction no matter how much the vol rises. In terms of mispricings, did you mean their expected moves during expiration is mispriced or the option values themselves being mispriced? The latter would be quite hard to exploit IMHO. As...

Anyone using "technical indicators" to take positions in options simply cannot be taken seriously- regardless of how much money he made. I mean, over time, his returns via the use of "indicators" will tend to revert to it's true worth- zero. I'm convinced this is quite fake- although I cannot...

Here's my experience with straddles: Unless the market hasn't anticipated anything other-worldly, owning them only eats you up slowly- theta decays fast for ATM options because they are the ones with the most extrinsic value. Sure you are long gamma but the profits of gamma are only realized...

Precisely because they're well priced, Fly's or even ICs to capture falling IV would help during an earnings announcement, no? I mean, I would assume the market makers would price the ATM straddles in a way that any expected move is more than compensated for with the premiums. Even with an IC-...

He was an analyst for Thomson Reuters. Not really a hedge fund trader... Unless there's something I don't know about Thomson Reuters' business...

Listen you racist prick, Barack is just as genetically white as he is black. And all the money you speak of Oprah making, that came not from racist losers like you but from open minded white people who didn't care what her race was. As far as getting to the back of the bus bud, I think it's...

It is obvious. Just thought I'd ask. His returns fall so smoothly and nicely to whole numbers almost every time- especially the losses: A massive string of losses towards the end of 2011 shows a string of -$2000s and -$7000s. Shady. I wonder who his subscribers are. And I would also...

The racial prejudice in a few members in this thread is appalling. Absolutely disgusting. Middle class values (wtf is that anyways?) intertwined with a disdain of coloured kids who "keep it real" ? Are there no African Americans (or other coloured Americans) in this thread because (some)...

Haha!!:D Not Kunkle here Atticus. The only reason I linked that article is that I would assume a financial reporting agency like Bloomberg would only interview reputed individuals who know what they're talking about and have made money based on what they know. He is also on...

Now THAT is a thread I'd wanna read sometime this week. Any links gmst? And as for a "selling website", yes, he has this strategy of the week and he throws in these "technical indicators". Mind you, there are links in Bloomberg that cite him as well. Here's a link...

That makes sense too. They could then probably be used during earning's releases and for directional bets.

Good question

Isn't the formula for delta and gamma PnL: $d*(dS/S) + G*[(S^2)*(ds/S)^2]/2 where d is delta ds/S is stock return G is gamma ? That's what I thought...

Oh Ive been consistently long calls on apple for throughout my paper trade days and now- my best moneymaker. I work as a part-time mobile sales guy going through uni and I can tell you- no amount of convincing will make people buy androids (in my experience and opinion a far better product...

I think I may have stumbled onto the part of ET where traders come to die. And this guy is a freakin zombie! And I thought my $100 loss on SODA was not so good... Masterm1ne, dude, you're flipping coins. good luck, cuz soon, you'll end up losing even the thumb you're the flipping the...

Post a losing trade and and the loss on it. Also post the number of contracts. If it includes stock, 100 shares will make up for 1 contract. The next poster adds to the previous poster's loss and also adds to the previous number of contracts and does the math all over again for Loss Per...
