If a rolling 30d ATM IV is enough, there is a ton of data available out there MC, ORATS, ivolatility, quantcha, Quandl, Finpricing, yada yada. HOWEVER!: Data quality in options heavily erodes the less volume an individual chain has. At least I started using option book data and calculate the...

what about "doesn't even come close to the old highs"?

If something declines 20% and then rallies 20% does it really make new highs? 100*0.8 = 80 80*1.2 = ?? Perhaps basic math is the reason why you keep losing in those nasty leveraged ETFs?

retail delta neutrality DOES work, you need to consider a few things though: - You need to trade high priced options that have high vega per lot - vol of vol has to be many multiples higher than the execution costs in vega terms - You need to use passive volatility orders instead of fixed price...

it always depends on what you want to do and how sensitive your strategy is to execution risk. If you trade delta one instruments such as futures and stocks and hold them for multiple days, 5 ticks more or less really do not matter when your P/L is measured in points. Plus you can enjoy the...

Give him a few years. Perhaps he'll be able to differentiate between social media content and advertising revenue. He's still papertrading, someday he'll be live and making a few bucks here and there...hopefully.

just cheaper and faster

Exactly.

Nah...there are more than enough people who downloaded the app to buy bitcoin commission free. Not the traders, but retail and HODLers. They have one of their simple, colorful buttonmashers. You know, where you don't have to care about order types and TIF and you only need to type in the dollar...

If you buy crypto from them, you obviously give them fiat

Well done, monkey, here's a peanut...but just one, the joke was a bit mediocre. Now do your trick again XD

well if you give me crypto and I give you fiat with a 1% mark down... Basically the same as if the merchant sold his crypto to an OTC desk in exchange for dollars. Or - if you want to view it from the counterparties perspective - the OTC desk is selling dollars to the merchant in exchange for...

as I mentioned, flow is two way. They sell fiat for crypto as payment service, sell crypto for fiat as an exchange service and hedge the overhang. Quite a basic market making operation, really...with a 100bps fixed spread and 100% non-toxic flow. Impressive if you think about the other guys who...

Bitpays business model is mainly driven by fees. 1% fee for payment processing plus a network fee in case that 1% doesn't cover TX costs. In that sense, the profit margins are way higher for them as they are for any other payment provider since blockchain fees are fixed and transaction fees...

Cool story bro...and what does that for you? Posting "reproducible" trades, I mean? Nobody would take even a pinch of advice from you anyways and you know that. So all you do here is making a fool out of yourself for public amusement and you do that like a trained monkey. All it takes is one...

the catch is, you either are trading hobbyist size or use a demo. I don't see any of your "trades" on the tape. I mean I find it quite amusing to bully you for the trash you're spamming the forum with, but just out of curiousity: What kind of psychosis drives you to do this? Only posting...

no need. posting papertrades does nothing for anyone

he doesn't trade, so he has no idea about execution shenanigans..his brags are just charts, but charts are not the market

the JPM zero cost collar is probably as old as methusalem...but nice to see that the retail crowd is catching up

"investing" and "futures" are two words that I wouldn't have thought to ever see in one sentence
