    Historical Earnings reactions data on stocks?

    Stock earnings.com is WAY over priced for what you get. Optionslam is your cheapest option 29.99 a month and they are very good for the price! Orats is another great source but they are a bit pricey (worth it). I am also providing an earnings data service. If your interrested send me a PM and...

    Good luck to us! I am short the 60. TBH, the 59.5 might do better as the company already released a ton of info to their investors last week. We might not get a jump at all!

    prove why neural network will not work in trading

    You can't just feed a NN a time series data and expect it to pop out a trade able strategy. 70% of your time should be building a data set with decent predictors. Next you will most likely have to transform the Dependent Variable due to time varying volatility, non-normality etc.. Your model is...

    132 PEP Put avg 1.41 I think we go lower (for fundamental reasons) and ATM vol is way to cheap! Considering this is the first large company announcing this season, a $5 move is not out of the cards. PEP is also @ the top of it's range on all fundamental ratio's. Great risk:reward! Note* If...

    Volatility is such a broad term

    When you trade, you are always trading the distribution of out comes not what is exactly going to happen. So yes, if vol is in the 90th pctile and the asset is mean reverting, what is more likely? Vol going up or vol coming down? Volatility is "some what" bound. We call this a stationary...

    First, Keep asking questions Philo. There are no dumb questions. Find smart people and start bugging them. That has been very important for my growth. Second play around with an option pricer...

    Hey guys, I have some time to catch up. If a market is competitive, it's much harder to extract alpha. Isn't this what Zack's claims as their edge? I think they said they have a 70% win rate (all marketing imo). This is hard to get data for. I have never tried it. Most of the vol is gone by...

    Looking for decent options strategy for high-probability stock trades

    Dude, why are you so negative? There are countless of ways to make money. Some have the quant skills to take advantage, some have the geological location, some are just in the right place at the right time.

    Looking for decent options strategy for high-probability stock trades

    Hey guru, Since you have portfolio margin, I would look at cross asset relative value plays. I believe this is where a lot of alpha lies in the modern times. Model RUT vol on SPX for example. Look at ALL etfs. I have seen a couple get out of line. However, (for me) in Canada it's hard to take...
