No, that would be for an interview. But what else do you have on your CV? Qualifications, training, etc.

By closing it I make an immediate loss... but financed by the new spread?

Out of interest what was the credit spread you used? I assume this is buying a put and pairing it with a credit spread above the highs?

With $5 I could get someone to love me long time rather than donate it to you.

Out of interest, how do you adjust the trade? Put on another hedging trade or something else?

Thanks! And say in a 65/70 spread, stock price reaches 67 and the option is exercised. That leaves me with shares short at 65. At that point I can close the 70 call or what? I have to balance out the short risk?

You could also say that institutions wanted an excuse to sell so blamed the news :) As always, you must combine fundamental and technical to trade well.

You're competing globally on Upwork and sites like freelancer. It's just impossible because someone in India is easily going to be able to undercut you, generate lots of reviews, etc. Most firms want maths, statistics backgrounds...

You mean 5-20k shares or $5-20k?

I presume there's no liquidity issues at that size. In the millions and billions there would be... more like steering a ship than a jet ski
