I don't want to narrow in my location too much but my languages are better for working with people that live in mud huts than they are for doing international business. I think they show that I am a diligent student more than any value they bring to a trading firm.

I know there are a few people on here with great knowledge of the trading industry and I am seeking your opinions. Here is my background in a nutshell: 7 years online poker full time earning around 120k a year average At the soonest I could get out, 10 years army special forces medic, ranger...

Hey Mav I can't believe you are still on here giving out good advice. I would have burned out years ago lol. I'm about to go somewhere without internet for a while and am loading my kindle with books to study. Any others you can recommend? I'm a full time worker that is investing mostly in...

You might as well get on a bitcoin dice site and make a high probability/low payout bet. Martingale on losers of course. Your expectation will probably be "higher" as the house edge is lower than bid ask spread and commissions. And you can make your "returns" much faster. :)

What kind of trading?

Well I found one thing I missed. I get that theta increases as you approach expiration, didn't realize how much gamma shifts at the same time, so my long gamma position quickly becomes short, which is what I want to avoid or at least mitigate. Good thing I have a stack of books to read still lol.

I was wondering if it might be bad prices, although on TOS the other expirations are mid 30s IV as well. How do you calculate that expected IV drop? I haven't come across that in the books I am going through.

I've been studying options for a while now and have been researching calendar straddles, selling high IV front month and buying back month. My simulations in TOS are giving me too good to be true estimates. I've been playing with buying more back month vs front to go from short to long gamma...

Nice setup. I was looking at getting into mining but with how expensive and sold out gpus are it seems like way too many people are getting ready to go online in the near future. Plus I don't see this alt free for all lasting for too long.

I'm onboard this one too. Gonna keep buying at these prices instead of my monthly stock purchase. Risky of course, but I think this has huge potential on a multi year timeframe.

Not to be a hater or anything, but this is pretty much run of the mill AustinP. Commit to x days or x dollars, and when it doesn't go well cancel the scheduled x. And I say that as someone that you know thinks well of you.

Thanks ammo!

Ammo do you mind explaining your chart and how it is guiding your trade? I always see you post them and can't quite figure it out.

Awesome trade. I closed my miner short the other day, left a lot on the table apparently.

Congratulations you started another stupid thread.

I bought in today. Wouldn't be surprised to see 158 spy by close today. Or it could crash ofcourse.

Anyone else looking to get long on strength in the morning?

I'm swing/position trading right now, and have been having a lot of success lately taking positions at monthly A ups(selling) or downs(buying) when it also happens to be the 50 day SMA. Just thought I might share that as food for thought for the other longer term traders that might be lurking.

I only use S/R that can be seen on a daily chart, because I figure that is the timeframe that the really big money is dealing with. Just my preference. As far as I can tell, the purpose of this thread is for you to decide if TA works or not. Why don't you just read a book or some of the...

That is a very different trade lol.
