I also applied a similar methodology to Calendar Puts over 5/7 days, predominantly for the cash-settled Mon/Wed/Fri cycles (Nasdaq, Russell 2000 and S&P500) which has gone well. These take considerably less time to run simulations for, but I only expect to get 6-8 set-ups per month. 24 out of...

Was able to devote more time to this recently. A couple of recent Flies closed in profit. Trade date: 10 May 2022 Security: AMZN Price at opening: 2200 Implied Vol 67.0% Direction: Put Expiry date: 13 May 2022 Strikes: 2070 / 2110 / 2190 Structure: 2 / 3 / 1 Opening Spread: 12.65 Close date...

Been round this for months myself but finally resolved. In my case - with more than one account at IB - there was a discrepancy in the net income / net worth categories between accounts. It took several months to sort out this very basic administrative matter, after which the closing only...

The approach I would take is: 1. specify what you want him to reconfigure/develop/build. You will need to be able to do this whether you code it yourself, use the programmer that you're considering, or use another. 2. optionally, split programming the different pieces between different...

Define 'best'

Four trades with 100% loss in each case! The three positions from post #184 that expired on Friday and the SPX fly that expired yesterday. Coincidentally, another project is taking up a lot of time, making it difficult for me to get these trade set-ups, put the trades on, work out the closing...

Yes, but here on ET one needs to use one's brain and think whilst learning; rather than being spoon-fed on YT. It's slightly ironic that the OP is asking a community encompassing some real experts for sources of expertise from a community of entertainers!

IIRC he refers to specific books within his many journals that may help. I vaguely recall that John Hull was one author. Go back and check again.
