Everyone is different and what works for one might not for others obviously. but you are very well-versed in technical analysis and I thought you’d use pivots in your own way. for example, pivot points are just the avg of the last days data, or whatever time frame chosen. This makes pivots a...

true.. and I don’t understand Gaussians statement about other sides of trades. the floor doesn’t exist, market makers are not human anymore..at least I don’t think so.. I’m pretty sure in 2020 MM is pure black boxes? I mean I could see MM being human in 2015, 16, 17, and maybe even as late as...

Anyone bringing up the Greek Rho will be misunderstood amongst the group... even amongst elite traders lol

yes the infamous fifty cent VIX trader... it’s probably Curtis Jackson himself I wouldn’t be surprised..

i was thinking more like im a gangster

That one post thagt is worthless to you could be the post that sparked something in another user who's just starting out (like the OP). Regardless, theres no point for insults, unless you want beef? lol

Well toilet paper is made from trees, which you can short with Random Length Lumber futures lol, but I understand how toilet paper can shortage up, but when it comes to computers, everything is digital, once the hardware is updated, we will be able to compute beyond measure. Its getting...

Which brokers froze? And was it a significant problem? Crazy to think even in 2020 our technology still freezes and loads. Loading will one day be an archaic technological concept. Anyway, your comment about vol reaching a certain limit. This is false, vol is mathematically unbounded. But if...

That book is a golden classic. I don't care what anybody says. But I'm curious what you mean by "if no one takes the other side of the trade." Is that even possibly in our current time? I mean yea maybe even just 15 years ago that was possible, but now? Not too sure.

Please be careful when viewing other traders over the interwebz. In the age of deceit its hard to tell whos really winning and whos losing. Even a massive loser is shrouded in consumer debt, appearing to win with materials. Any trader toting winning yet doesn't post his losers is cleared for...

calm down bro @gaussian drops way more knowledge with 1.3k posts than your 13k posts lol "You are trying to show expertise by throwing in a few greeks" lmao dude who even thinks like this? Please show some decency and lets discuss options without the shallow insults? Cheers!

Never thought i'd see the day where Rho affected premiums lol And for the OP, can you supply us with the exact option you bought?

I did?

I am fascinated with this stuff. More so I've began to focus my energy on the volatility of an underlying, more than the direction (although I pay much attention to direction too) The magnitude of moves +/-, i.e vol which is this immediate area which surrounds the spot price, seemed to be of...

Can you elaborate more on what you meant by "flows that var-swaps create"? What flow? Money flow? Debt-instrumentation? What are related products? I'm thinking it has to do with the VIX products and associated vol etf/etn's?

Not sure what you mean by this? You are saying you pay more attention to individual strike IV% instead of the overall IV% of the underlying?

What do you mean by "realized vol must be sampled daily for true vol"? Do you mean converting volatility into variance? I agree with your point on the markets overall non-movement. And that's interesting about the incoming pulse, this power arrives from some source and I believe its more than...

1. I don't think experience has much to do with it. Your posts are just as insightful if not more than some of the vets of this site, I'm glad we have you in our era. 2. I'm trying to grasp and understand more advanced concepts of derivatives because I believe knowledge is power. Of course one...

Is anyone trading this market? I've been on the sidelines for a week now and no intentions of getting into anything just yet. $VIX hit an all-time high today of 83 smhh

what trading software is that? Looks like TOS but I’m pretty sure it isn’t.
