    The IV risk with short strangles

    You clearly miss my point. Covered calls would be the worst strategy as your cash is tied up in some stock that will bite you eventually. I've traded through several bear markets -most newbies got burned this year. As for strangles- I'm saying they can be ok but impossible to manage when the...

    The IV risk with short strangles

    Garbage -decades of research show covered calls are a disaster. GS are just there to take money off mug punters

    The IV risk with short strangles

    A lot of misconceptions about strangles but over time you will get killed with covered calls- like this year. Manage your risk with a strangle, then losses are not infinite,but as I said it's not the worst trade.

    The IV risk with short strangles

    I used to calculate the Ansbacher index religiously for about 4 years-it didn't help. Options prices are as predictive as Tarot cards. FYI Do not trade strangles because =Vol will kill you and you will wake up one morning and see a margin call as prices blow through your safe zone. I've seen...

    Futures vs Options

    As an options trader, I've never met a profitable futures trader-and like many people, I found out that after the first 500 futures trades it's death by 1,000 cuts. 4 years of that crap and never again -you have to be right on direction, and stops and take profit/trailing stops. In a volatile...

    Advice on how I should Raise Trading Capital?

    Strangles- when managed make $$$$$££££€€€€€€ whatever. Price Headley's formula- when premium triples on one side you close that side out. What you do after that is up to you.

    Nassim 'Black Swan' Taleb Blasts Biden's Student-Loan Bailout

    FAXE News is the toilet-nothing on there will ever be of any merit. So this muppet never heard of Bernanke and the helicopter money. He is so out of his depth, but you'd expect that from the pathetic FAXE News. Where the dumbest on the planet get to screech their far right garbage. To their...

    If you don't understand simple tech like solar, you can find out about it quite easily. Texas's problem seems to be like most countries, storage. Lift a frikkin' weight with the surplus.

    The climate emergency is not political it's notlies it's 100% FACT. Texans could provide enough solar energy for the US instead of killing the planet. It's not political it's common bloody sense-the Earth is dying. Wake up.
