What is PFOF?

“Trading Against The Crowd” by John Summa surprisingly liked this book. He talks a lot about contrarian sentiment indicators via optionality, specifically the put/call ratio at market extremes.

The market will inevitably implode itself via time. weeklies, soon we will see dailies, eventually markets won’t close. the world is speeding up my friends, and I kinda don’t like it, I miss the simple days. But we gotta adapt to this micro second world or die.

I recently found out about this app and downloaded it, it’s surprising very good. I love the dark theme and the charts and display (ui) is probably the best option app I’ve seen. but I’m also appalled at the lack of amazing cool metric websites that allow the retail trader to visualize and...

you know what’s interesting? Options have been traded on exchanges well before the implementation of the Black Scholes Merton Model. How did these traders price options? Well it was more of a heuristic methodology. A feel for where spot was in relevance to your strikes. Moneyness was a feeling...

Speaking of cross hybrid’ing market analysis, the infamous P/E ratio is a hybrid. Both technical/fundamental. Diving price by earnings, valuing the underlying. Interesting.

“Sell vol on Thursday, buy on Friday”
