Those are his bad days

Oh i hear ya man I have been reading through a bunch of old threads/journals lately and have seen your progress...I just know from current conversation that you are several steps ahead of me and showing you some respect for your efforts.

Just to reiterate (i know i am not on your level but it helps me learn to engage in conversation)...

Some helpful replies guys thank you.

reading through the butterfly threads lately and vol of vol gets tossed around a lot. to me it makes more sense to use that term in reference to steepness of the volatility smile but it is usually in reference to volatility of the VIX. So how are you guys using the phrase? Application for a fly...

yea that thing deserves something like a 5-20 for it to serve its "purpose". hope you have plenty of mags and ammo...im happy that I followed the old adage "by cheap, stack it deep" especially since I primarily shoot AKs and their shit is going through the roof.

20 not 21 my mistake. happy to hear you put NF glass on it...im big jealous of that rig man absolute dream gun. How far have you stretched it out?

envelopes could be useful for this strategy.

I was pretty decent at picking direction...unfortunately it was usually after a big move or reversal when IV is elevated...and although the trend would continue in my favor, crush and theta ate me up. I get what you're saying about keeping it simple...but nothing about options is simple. They...

I read his 2 main books a while back and liked them...definitely geared towards beginners looking for direction. there are also several free webinars he has put on that will help fill in the gaps...and marketsmith (although expensive) is pretty nice for that style of trading. I tried to apply...

Now that’s more like it.

Honestly why even make this post?

whatd you think?
