Glad to see other credit spread traders around. I'm currently reading "Trading Option Greeks, How Time, Volatility, and Other Pricing Factors Drive Profit" by Dan Passarelli.

I look forward to your journal entries. It is far better for your readers to use the same thread as they can get a notification when there is a new entry.

I guess I don't get it. I fail to see where I insulted you. You are very up front about your attitude and the tone of your posts and relish in them. I don't see how pointing it out to others who may not have had the experience with you that I have can be considered an insult.

April was tough, but not as tough as March.

Please explain.

eudaemon is not a favorite of mine, primarily because of his lack of civility. However, he seems pretty smart and there are frequently some gems among the trash he litters about. I recommend that you abstain from personal attacks as it diminishes you and does not effect him.

Unless ability to assess direction is superior to other traders, it's not to be recommended.

Volatility is not a measure of the price of the target but a measure of how erratically it might get somewhere. To suggest that it is negatively correlated to its target is an assessment of what has sometimes happened, not a direct connection. To understand the effectiveness of your hedging...

The value metric still holds. If the higher priced services deliver the kind of benefit (notice I did not yet use the word results) in the eyes of the purchaser, than it still meets the value assessment. But, therein lies the problem of assessing a value as the benefits perceived differ from...

I think it depends on your trading style. The more intense, the fewer monitors. Few of us can process more than that and worse, react when crisis comes. My trading is pretty relaxed so I have two monitors. One for trading and one for everything else. During a crisis I am focused on just the...

In my mind there are some simple criteria for deciding if a website should be on the list. Are their claims dishonest? Do they offer poor value? If their claims are honest, the promotional environment should not be an issue. Those of us who buy cars and deodorant may not enjoy their...

Thank you for this post. Perhaps you could address a few questions that will help me understand things more completely. Before my questions, I would like to make clear that the Dashboard is not magic, it is merely a decision support tool for the management of existing spreads. Therefore it...

I wonder if you need a new thread for each aspect of the same basic strategy. Makes it more difficult to help you in a holistic manner.

I only objected to the tone and tenor of your post, not to the position you hold or your right to post it here. I just recommend that you stay away from personal attacks to make you seemingly valid points.

And pitch such easy ones for you and MG? :eek: Hardly! Groundhog Day is not one of my favorite movies.

This post is unnecessary and likely counterproductive to make your case that you disagree with the guy making the list.

I trade 60 days out for several reasons.Risk allocation over multiple time frames.More opportunities for roll. A roll implies exiting a spread and entering another on the same side in the same series. Exiting the spread freezes the return. Entering the new spread is no more risky than any other...

One great trade, no matter how profitable, is only of interest if it can be repeated.

They are not mutually exclusive.
