    Climb up a hill and fall off a cliff, until you throw in the towel and then comes a surge.

    Are You Paranoid Or Not ?

    I'm not sure if I would call it paranoid, but I will say that since Covid, my world view has changed.

    I am much better prepared today. I hope that I can pick up the bounce back.

    Game Theory for trading

    We are all using game theory. A rally that is trending at a steady pace over time is usually due to cooperation. But a poisson jump from a short squeeze is competition. Maximizing payoff from cooperation and competition is what game theory is all about.

    SMA is my favorite

    Just a slight pullback today but no problem. Trade is still on. I added more. The SMA based oscillator crossed in the oversold range on the hourly and looks like it's going to head back up.

    Are options a waste of time and money? (pun intended)

    I am just calling the direction. How I do it is for me to know, and you to find out.

    The direction is what you need to get correct. If you want to skew the S&P short. You can use SPX or SPY or /ES long puts and/or short calls. Or you could even just do it with SPXU. It don't matter.

    Isn't skew how long or short from delta neutral that the trade is?

    Are options a waste of time and money? (pun intended)

    When I skew it long it means that I think that the price of that asset is going higher. When I skew it to the short side it means that I think that the price of the asset is going lower. I thought that this is common trading terminology.

    I have provided more than enough on calling the direction. I don't need to post my actual trades.

    Are options a waste of time and money? (pun intended)

    I am going to break it down and make it simple enough for even you to understand...I am going to skew long on oil, VIX, and treasury yields. And skew short on the Russell, NASDAQ, and S&P.

    Look at that...My call to skew it to the short side two weeks ago was correct. SPX is trading 65 points lower.

    What are the most valuable lessons you have learned?

    I will be alright. I am not doing this full time. I am staying as a contributor to real GDP and the 401K system. I ain't ever selling my shares. I am just shaving some delta off with some short-term option trades. But when the market goes down it puts those deltas back. But I win on those...

    I am trying....I am not a day trader. I am always in the market with a combination of shares, and option spreads. This weekend I am going to be practicing trading corrections within the context of a bull market. In the near term, I predict a correction but with some surge days to lift the...

    Yup. The same as a Condor. It doesn't matter what structure you open with (butterfly, diagonal, vertical, calendar), or if you makeup your own customized structure. Just assume it's at parity. It only matters how you manage it against market fluctuation.

    Exhale...Apple covered call

    Cool...Now you can roll it down to the March $185 and collect another $600 on Monday. You have all the way until December 2025 expiration to collect some income everyday. You have to keep it moving and not let them catch you. As soon as they catch you then they takeaway your shares.
