Interesting read. I had always read in their official documentation (well I thought I did), that there is no margin calls. They do instant-liquidation of assets.. Hmmmm...

That statement isn't quite correct, in many cases you will see volatility go down with a 3 or 4 dollar tick. We can also argue this one too, with countless counter-examples.

Funny, I remember people saying that very same thing when OneCoin was still around. Oh, people have forgot all about THAT by now...:sneaky:

Forgot to give an update on my positions after Expiration Friday. Turns out I did indeed get put on the hook for close to 4K of BitCoin holdings. It's ok, not the end of the world. That said, this monday morning I see we went through yet ANOTHER dip! This time I shorted more puts (refused to...

What's interesting, is time and time again they are so horrible at it for HIGHLY volatile securities. Often you'll see items with the strikes not being able to keep up with the growth of the underlie. GME was just one of many examples lately...

Been getting hit a bunch on Youtube lately on this person's Quantum Code scam. When watching the whole video (yes if you got the time for something as silly), it becomes instantly apparently he's offering the impossible and non of it makes sense to even an amateur investor. Not to mention his...

Well, Niederhoffer managed to blow up his hedge fund not just ONCE, but TWICE! There were some criticism papers written about his 2nd attempt after the first disaster, and warnings how history with these risk-taker traders always repeat. And it did!

I use IBKR on my smartphone every day at work during breaks. As for trading options on crypto, IBKR is the most trusted method I've found... You could use DeFi methods like 'Opyn', etc... but these have been hacked before, at huge detriment... have no way for a clearing house to step in and...

I have the market huddle on my list of podcasts to listen to. I just never get around to it with everything else. Perhaps I should at least give the one posted a try tonight.

Well shit, I forgot one major one... Dr. Who

Instead of just investing/trading PtE crypto, I imagine there are some here who have tried to actually PLAY on the same platforms to earn a secondary income next to their primary source? For a lucky few, they making more from playing than their day-job... Now fess up and admit which ones...

Lost in Space Space 1999

Canada added a bunch of BTC and ETH traded funds early this year. I am going to assume one for ADA must be thought of in the works. Even better yet, would be nice if the custodians could hold it in STAKING, and then the ETF could pay the shareholders dividends. :)

I find it almost a 'fools errand' to try to predict catalyst's and other things in crypto. I'll see a half-decent crypto-project just fail and collapse, while other (obvious scams) take off to the moon. Even when it's 99.9% sure it will be rug-pulled. No point in adding logical thinking to...

To be fair, didn't famous traders like Neiderhoffer go through this Riches-to-Rags story more than once? At his investor's expense...

If we are stuck in a crab-market, I will be on the hook for another 4K of Bitcoin on assignment. Which is ok... Maybe I'll short calls on it later if that happens. On the other hand... if we go through a Black Monday.... well then we are all in big trouble aren't we?

I think some other points you could add to your argument... For the same $5 spread (or other value) between bid/ask... the damage is mitigated more-so with the higher value stock. And we could also throw in commissions arguments too. A simple $2.50 commission fee is less of a drag on $100...

Yup, reminds me as of up to a year ago or so, YouTube was filled with all these amazing ForEx options trading guru's making millions. Yet not ONE single ONE could show their real performance in IBKR or ToS (Think-or-Shit). I think it was Meta-Trader 4 that they were all using. Very highly...

No referral needed mate. I just use IBKR (pro). They unlocked crypto assets on Tuesday morning. Also, you can trade BTC and ETH Futures (CME Group). For typical options trading, (being Canadian), I just trade derivatives on any of the Canadian crypto ETFs. ETHX.B for example on the Toronto...
