    Option scanner with the help of chatgpt

    I have basic skills on excel, learning as I go, for what I need. This is above my head, so I asked chatgpt for help. Before this query, I asked info on how to create an xls file with imported data to analyse volatility and term structure, where could I get the data from, I played a bit with...

    Option Straddle

    By "collect" you mean buy and collect? Like shop to buy a few cheap otm? I am also looking at flies, diagonals/calendar, doubles, long and short. Looking at iv terms structure when choosing the different exp. At least that is what I did when I picked the 5th of may. Volatility looks relatively...

    Option Straddle

    Correct. At least I try to. Although I am not focusing on delta neutral adjustments. More concerned about tail risk, and understanding vega and IV changes and effect on premiums.

    How do you accelerate in a manual car?

    For someone who drives anything that moves (except articulated and engineering vehicles), in whatever side of the road... This is a funny thread lol Just learn by practice where the car clutch cut off is. Be gentle on accelerator. You could slowly drive a car and switch gears up, by barely...

    Option Straddle

    Disclaimer: I am still learning and trying to understand volatility :D For what I have grasped here on ET, I understand it is more of a volatility than price view that I need with certain structures. I try not to look at price too much in terms of view and forecast. Although I do when...

    Option Straddle

    Using your link here, it worked. When I clicked on the link that I generated and posted, it gave me the same strange query page that @BlueWaterSailor probably got. Maybe it was a temporary glitch. Funny website. :D Anyway, it would be good to have a thread to discuss straddles, strangles...

    Bye bye EU dictatorship... welcome 250mil (or was it 350mil) per week to the NHS! What? Doctors and nurses strikes? Where? "Apparently, you can now see the ring of human excrement surrounding Brexit Britain from space, the raw sewage of Brexit’s environmental fallout lapping at the shores of...

    BoE: Brits need to accept they are now poorer

    I had to switch browser to see who was the brexiteer. Luckily I have him on ignore for other reasons lol Brexit hit me in the balls regarding business, asset (poor GBP) and personal. But it did worse to the young british generation. The generation that does not want to have a stiff upper lips...

    BoE: Brits need to accept they are now poorer

    Funny how he doesn't mention brexit, he must be a brexiteer! People who supported and still support Brexit, are in denial.

    I read it's not tradable and doesn't have options. I found a chart on the investing app. It's just an index created for the 0dte frenzy.

    writing a put

    I think it is similar to asking: "if I enter a buy limit order on QQQ at 290, do I need to limit my potential losses (eg use a stop loss)?" It depends on your plan.

    Selling naked calls OTM & covering them just before ITM?

    I also had those ideas when I started trading options a few years ago. Tested them with real money, no backtesting or demo. All good until you get hit in the face. Then you realise what people meant by picking pennies in front of a steam roller, or like a friend told me "you'll eat like a...

    Selling naked calls OTM & covering them just before ITM?

    You are thinking at expiration. By the time you get there, price whipsaw could come against you for more than the tiny credit you take.
