i recall somebody on ET was trading smallcap mining stocks on the vancouver exchange. I imagine there's some low liquidity over there. I think he was watching for big moves in large/well known mining stocks and then buying the small cap if it did not follow suit on a timely basis. any market...

of my event contracts trading? I am optimistic. I've experimented with a lot of different ideas with these since last October. Some hits and some misses. But since Jan I've been doing a thing which I think will be profitable going forward. Here's my actual daily equity curve for this strat on...

I've been googling on 0DTE. Basically they're about trading the SPX and XSP (mini) options on the CBOE. Just trade it on the day of expiration. They european style so no worries about exercise. I found this video about a lady doing 0DTE iron condors using index options (I found it fascinating)...

that article is just a worthless SEO keyword piece. I see there is buzz about 0dte lately. Are they referring to CME event contracts or is there something else?

Nice! I've been trading all their event markets so far, happy to see it expanding.

interesting. I am not an option spreads guy. Can you elaborate on 'diagonals'?

This is basically what the CME event contracts are. And not just for eq indexes but a bunch of commodity markets too

I am in the process of reactivating an old Nadex account. I want to compare features.

I think you might be seeing a volume issue. It might be a bit thin at the far OTMs. Would be nice if they listed volume by strike. I only see aggregate volumes by market. Another thing on my wishlist is closer together strikes, especially in the equity indexes. For example, the NQ contracts are...

That's the thing about AI in trading. Eventually it will be AI versus AI and us humans will have always opportunity amid the turbulence. It's not a scenario where it's AI doing away with inefficiencies such as doctors, lawyers, tax preparers, etc.

anybody else notice some strange moves in the morning in stocks like NEM? It had a big spike at the opening then flat lined for next first 10 or 15 minutes. I saw other stocks do this as well today.

You might benefit by becoming fully system based. That takes the emotion out of it. If you have a string of losses, you can refer to the system's history - has that occurred in the past? How long did it take to recover? What is the maximum drawdown? Also, seed each system with a small enough...

he might have been using a very complex strategy called the '50 day moving average'

judging by price action right now I would say yes

The usual moral hazard question. Privatize the profits and socialize the losses. LTCM, AIG etc

Looks like the previous firm Lone Pine Capital was down -50% through Aug. Yes, that is 'disruptive', if you were a client with money invested.

I'm a watcher of Crudele's channel. He's occasionally got some good material on event contract trading but there's also a lot of non-actionable hype in there. But there are edges for intraday trading which are persistent and have been around for a long time. Some edges are spellled out in broad...
