Gocharting.com has market profile built right in! I was trying to use the "monkey bars" up till now on tos.

I am really just referring to predictive price patterns.

I edited my post after I thought about it lol.

I don't trust the derivative market any more than I trust the real market. My strategy is to piggyback on the corruption.

Wait, so I have just illustrated the volatility smirk with my example? The reason that short calls will out perform long puts is that by nature puts are more expensive so you lose when purchasing them, that and the time decay favouring the short calls. In otherwords, the short call will lose...

I'm accounting for either direction where the short call vertical (index) will result in better gains and less losses.

How many Lambos do you have again?

So these are the variations of a box spread? Anyway the topic here is about how a credit spread will outperform a debit spread for the same directional bias.

Yes and in the original post I said what's the point of selling a call vertical spread ITM to get to 1:1 when you could just buy a put debit spread instead and carry a better risk reward...but it turns out the call credit spread will out perform the put debit spread.

It doesn't matter that the strikes are equal, the short call performs better than the long put. Look at the screenshots.

Yeah but all volatility is implied when it comes to options pricing.

So going by the box setup here if I get filled at this price I am locking in .03 cents profit. So with 250 contracts I can lock in a $500 profit with no risk? So why isn't everybody doing this? Oh maybe because you will never get filled at that price? Show me an example where you have actually...

I just created a box with a $2 spread at a cost of $273.50 The spread is only $200 so I'm down 73.50 before we even consider fees. Show me a current example of a box spread that locks in a profit.

Reading a book does jack for understanding options. It's like reading a book on mechanics and then trying to do a break job. If you want to understand anything you have to do the practical before the theory.

How are they equivalent? The short vertical performs better than the long vertical. Price drops to $453.36 Short vertical spread: $164.31 Long vertical spread: $30.45 The short vertical also performs better if the price goes against you. Price increases to $457.38 Short vertical spread...

$10,000. Risk @ 10% = $1,000 / $250 per contract= 4 contracts to trade For a credit spread, isn't this $400 in risk with a $1 wide spread? Also, I keep hearing people talking about getting a 1:1 risk reward with credit spreads...how do you ever get 1:1 on a credit spread unless you go ITM...

Yes but it is commonly traded against BTC/usdt right now not crypto to crypto. Freezing mode?? Just hit 52 w highs

Yeah but what's the point trading crypto pairs at this point because all boats rise with the tide. Also are all these country coins going to have burn rates built in or a hard cap?

What would you consider a healthy turnover ratio to be able to exit a position anytime?

So I imagine that these will trade the same and replace fiat pairs?
