you guys are smart... wish i could code

Technical analysis is a method of displaying price through time. Its an image, and images are open for the most diverse interpretations. Now these interpretations might not make sense to you, but that doesn't mean you should discredit it. Understand why he's using physics as an explanation...

The second highest volume today in IWM? Or the options market in general?

My question would be, why buy the calls and not shares? I’ve owned ACB for a few months now and was deciding whether to buy long term calls or just flat out delta1.. basically when shares are $10 I’ll opt for the shares.

SPY IV: 39.97% SPX IV: 38.47% I never looked at implied vol on different products (ETF vs Index) as an arb opportunity. My understanding of arb is usually bid/ask spreads or free butterfly spreads, not the implied vol differential on different products. Is this "arb" practical? Can someone...

Even if SPY IV is higher than SPX IV, what would its significance mean?

Women can be overrall a hinderence on trading focus. The mind games can get in the way big time

both the day after yesterday pre market

Dude the hexagon chart, the circle of 360, is amazing. I have no idea how Gann could even conceive of this stuff, at the time period, without computers, its really bizaree interesting stuff.

please do!

I know all of this, I still can’t get over the crash occurring not only at 666 SPX but on 3/6/9... you can’t make this stuff up. but yes I’m sure the author chose to introduce Gann at page 666.

Insanity... death and taxes

You're in for quite the treat. Gann is a legend. He created so many "esoteric" methods for analyzing the prices of underlyings. The Circle of 360, Square of 9, Gann angles, Spiral/Hexagon Chart, using astrology/planetary cycles to price, while also publishing about 10 books. I just realized...

I have it, but havent read it yet. I skimmed through it a few times and it seems more esoteric, mixing old philosophies of the east into contemporary markets. Kinda cool. Still on my reading list. Also, about the future and present. Time is important for trading analysis. A trader needs to know...

Same logic applied to when they introduced weeklies, nobody thought they'd be popular.. boom now weeklies are thee most popular expiration. I'd say as the market permit into the future, time seems to only be getting faster.. thus the transfer of risk will need "faster" expirations. Eventually...

Damn dude! Your other thread is a classic too... great to see another one, good luck!

I'll always look in from above, from years, monthly, weekly, daily, intra intervals.. The longer time frames are important even if I'm trading shorter term. But to each his own, honestly if you are just trading intraday you should just focus on intraday time frames and daily. The market is...

R.I.P

I have access to an "at home" bloomberg terminal for my finance course. Honestly not that impressed. thinkorswim is way cleaner, for the retail trader at least.

I'm starting to believe this type of thinking is some sort of fallacy. Just because some people copy your exact entry/exits doesn't mean the strategy magically gets arb'd into oblivion... or can it? It just seems irreal to me that traders think like this. Obviously arbitrage exists but...
