    So, about yesterday's drop...

    I shorted some more puts on Ethereum yesterday. Tried to do the same again today but couldn't get the premium I wanted, so no bites. Hopefully the price goes up before I get the addiction to double-down... haw!

    IBKR now offering Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum etc.

    If it's only avail to US residents, interesting in that I can see the crypto, and looks like set up a trade for it in my Canadian account. Now technically I didn't quite hit SUBMIT (yet). May try it later just to see if it blocks me.

    What Options book are you currently reading?

    Yup, I do have a trade-journal I have been finally writing this year. Though to be honest a lot of why I do this is so I know WTF I was doing/thinking when it comes time to do taxes again. Haw!

    What Options book are you currently reading?

    Bookmarking it for now... just maybe if I can get some time this weekend I'll give it a good skim.

    Another YT 'guru' selling an options course (that doesn't even exist)

    Haw! I did a check now, looks like I came across his channel a couple years ago on YT when I was first starting. I still have all his videos on my READ history. Looks like he didn't' get many views, so gave up making those videos about 2 years ago. Bad sign on how long it will take to make...

    What Options book are you currently reading?

    I remember a retired floortrader mentioning that you never end learning... so perhaps I should not feel too hard on myself for still learning what I don't know after 2 years. I finally started another of Jeff Augen's books from the stack I picked up at a thrift shop. "Day Trading OPTIONS"...

    A most basic question about the most basic of options

    I'm also confused how this is some sort of hedge. But I find these "use theta" to your advantage statements some sort of blanket statements that make absolutely no sense on its own. In the end scheme of things, the PRICE is what matters. Or you'd be an idiot to take the long side if 'using time...

    IB and Crypto

    Well that's rather annoying. So Canada which is right next door, is prohibited from getting crypto in their IBKR accounts? Guess we'll have to wait until 2030 for that feature.

    Option Trading scammed from the 90s

    I figured that's who you were thinking about. I only a year ago finally watched his Options promotional video from that era. I had read his Wall Street Money Machine book a year just before he died. Didn't realize that just after his 2'nd edition of it, he filed for bankruptcy, Haha! That...

    IB and Crypto

    It's already September... the last month of the Summer. Waiting now for an official notice of "- things are delayed... to a future date" now. Kinda like how, TastyWorks has been coming to Canada "next quarter" for a few years now... keeps getting pushed back another quarter :P

    Can one strategy work "most of the time" in any market condition?

    Can one strategy work "most of the time" in any market condition? Isn't this like asking: "Can drawing to an inside-straight work "most of the time" in any poker hands? Let's think this through with common sense.

    The OPTION TRADER'S WorkBook

    Just started reading this one today. Another one of Jeff Augen's books. I'm about 35 pages into it right now, I can't complain. Then again, I'm not a trading-God, but so far this seems like an excellent review for various scenarios and beats the average fad of Option books out there trying to...

    Worst options/trading book?

    I may be missing something here. Sosnoff and his cohort used to be floortraders and were trading back in the day during the crash of 87. Ok, I know this doesn't vindicate everyone or everything but...

    The Worst Accounting Scandals At U.S. Companies

    It still FUCKING amazes me how after all this horse-shit... people STILL trust bond ratings by the VERY same rating agency that sold us pure toxic garbage as AAA just because they wanted to collect commissions. If you can't trust a bank...

    Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader

    Read a few chapters into it now. I am a little weary when he talks about being out of the markets for quite some time due to burn-out. That doesn't quite set right with me, after all, who would get burn-out if they are making money?! Then again, even Peter Lynch wanted to leave the investment...

    Trading options @ expiration.

    Interesting... I had been under the impression that equities had been updated to be exercised at just 1 cent also. Seems duckduckgo snippets are highly out of date!

    The Life and Times of Harris Kupperman (Praetorian2)

    Poor Kuppy. (this is not investment advice)

    Sell a losing long call?

    Well, if it's so obvious, then wouldn't the market also know this, and price things accordingly? Just curious what makes your crystal ball so much better than everyone else's in this scenario. I think we need to come to agreement here, before we even tackle the mathematics...on where to go next.

    When will CME ETH micro futures arrive?

    Damn... Already getting close to mid august here, and every day I wake up I've been waiting for mini-ETH futures to arrive. For now I am ok with just trading derivates on the Toronto/Montreal exchange for ETH ETFs.

    Worst options/trading book?

    Unfortunately, the book was canceled just prior to publication. But I do imagine there would have been some interesting tid-bits in there, and can't help but wishing I could get ahold of the last draft. Though some of THESE results may be damning...
