interesting ideas - for life in general as well as trading. A few weeks ago i came across this article which was interesting and covered the idea of shame and behaviour modification dealing with hardened criminals.....a good read for those interested, and if it only does one thing, it shows its...

I thought they used to use buttons, briefcases and telephoto lenses. These days they use facebook, myspace, flicker etc :)

Sierra chart gives a reason for this similar question http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/helpdetails34.html Ultimately it is all about scale, pixel size and different date/time precision etc, and I dont think there is much you can do about it......but I am no expert on it. As an...

dragon flys are meant to be the best flyers in nature......they can hover, go forward, backward and even upside down.

FWIW - I used to think it was largely about controlling emotions, ego blah, blah. because that is what you read and everyone tells you. Personally I think that is relatively easy - its a job....every job has its ups and downs. If we did not kick ourselves for our mistakes we would never learn...

Its a good question.....A: both. The Delta is the change in the option price ....this is made up of 2 parts If the underlying moves, then by implication the intrinsic part changes as well when ITM, as well as the extrinsic part. However, if it is OTM, and intrinsic is 0 then it is entirely a...

your main question was -- " how is the Delta of OTM option affect option price?" Are you sure 'affect' is the right word you wish to use?

You are missing the crucial point that delta does not change the price. Delta reflects what the change in price will be for a change in the underlying. example; if the underlying price does not change but the volatility changes then the option price will also change. Hence why (and yes it can...

yes, if you can show that you can capture that in a sufficient win loss ratio. Only a history of actual trades will show this. Positive expectancy etc; etc; However my 2 cents, I personally dont think the ratio is enough as there is little margin for error. Especially if human discretion is...

FWIW - The Australian stock exchange seems to have less issues with it precisely as it is a single market (right or wrong) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-03/australia-model-curbs-speed-as-ceo-says-u-s-too-far-gone.html

if you are talking about sharing - you can forget about it. your mind is sicker than mine :)

1..liquidity and price.....sometimes the best way to hedge something is not the cheapest. So you might have to make do. 2...dont forget some MM get given their positions as they are price makers not price takers. Often you simply spread risk as best you can. If you are in stocks there are also...

do you mean, when a wealthy philanthropist donates stock they own to a charity, they get the tax write off at the market price at time of donation? As maybe opposed to them having to sell stock, pay tax, then donate cash?

one problem with FX is the gaps can be pretty large, the moves occur very quickly, and they can be completely one way sometimes with not much in the way of pullbacks, and the whipsaws can be horrific around numbers, that can quickly undo a lot of good work. IMHO You would need a modified approach.
