That's easy to answer. For directional trading you want to use the option that provides the highest possible gamma per unit of theta. IV is negligible in very short term options, they are gamma plays for the most part. As short term options IV is heavily skewed, you will find that these options...

For daytrading you want to prefer very short term options such as 2day options or weeklies. Short term IV moves a lot but the options don't have a lot of vega. If you want to trade moves in the underlying, you want the most gamma you can get and these are in short term options. You should...

exactly right. In order to make an estimation on price, you need to compare the option IV either to realized vol, to another option strike or time to expiration. A price is always relative

errr...that's exactly what I wanted to say

how could I :D

To answer @morganpbrown 's original question I try to make a very dumbed down explanation. Many options veterans may jump on me for this but bare with me, ok? So the most important thing for understanding options is the fact that you can REPLICATE the options payoff through trades in the...

OMG, pls dude that's more BS that anyone can handle

No No, just no. Back to square one

Hm....this is where sheep and sharks go different directions. One is going down the rabbit hole, the other keeps living in denial until it gradually, then suddenly dawns on everyone. What would the world population do with a decentralized currency that is censorship resistant. Make it more...

sure...it's not that this already happened 3 times. dot com never took forever to come back to break even. BTC is already a multiple of its first major crash price after the Mt.Gox fiasco. Government currencies are not cryptocurrencies, they are money based on DLT. Apples and oranges

Thing is...if you are not long crypto, you are short crypto. And all the guys who are short crypto are flat broke. So wether you like it or not, get some exposure to that stuff in some way or another or you will regret it.

If you are in this game for the money, you already lost it

Mate, are you living under a rock? Crypto is massively on the radar, there are new laws and regulations coming out every second month for over a year now, the EU is setting up MICA, I haven't seen so much action from the regulators since dotCom. I don't know how you would imagine this to...

Again, for crypto that's totally irrelevant. I like the fact that US citizens always think that things live and die by their standards but this is not the case. If all emerging markets adopt some form of cryptocurrency standard and not a single US citizen would be allowed to own crypto, would...

I said in the grand scheme of things. US citizens are completely irrelevant for crypto. They cannot trade derivatives and are declined by the majority of exchanges anyways. Every big US player trades through an offshore entity to even get access to flow. The biggest chunk of business is done...

no dude, you don't get it. The US is irrelevant in the grant scheme of things. Crypto isn't there to replace fiat, it's the access point to fiat for emerging markets that otherwise would not be able to transact in dollars. Crypto nothing but a big shadow banking system. Stable coins alone...

Ah yeah? El Salvador anyone? Unfortunately there are already trillions of dollars in coins

you dont understand. They already ARE convinced and in the process of using crypto to their advantage. Open your eyes man

it has economic benefits. it makes international trade easier to facilitate...and just because governments don't mint it, doesn't mean they can't control it. hard to understand without knowledge about payment processes, I know but that's the way it is

One is an accomplished trader and the other one is an old man yelling at a cloud. Welcome back Sommi and congrats on your fortune. Crypto is the place to be right now and it will be for the next ten years. I'm doing a lot in the crypto derivatives space and it's a hoot to be honest. Not really...
