james you seem to complain a lot, and demand a lot, while at the same time not offering much of any type of substance. It’s easy to judge a man behind a keyboard, and it’s easy to judge a man with some power.. Look man, you prolly wine about the pattern day trading rule and margin requirements...

you were that kid in class that flipped everyone’s names to make fun of em lol im not surprised you asked lol

I watch tasty often, since the incident I rarely have ever heard Tom “parading” her around like a legend. She was invited to speak on geeks on parade show, maybe that’s what you meant by “parading”. You think trading educators have positive P/L? Peak don’t tell me you follow Jeff Bishop trades...

I use TOS for my risk graph's, and I like it, but it feels a bit outdated, and I can see some really amazing new trading software being created this generation, or maybe already exists? Anyone use a software that has risk graphs, that allows you to analyze trades, but also looking decent and...

What market and product was this in? Spreads have been eerily wide in a lot of single-names, futures, index even.

Sossy's so traumatized his twitter account handle is @Tomunderwater Watch the show sometimes James, Tony is always clowning Tom for how badly he trades sometimes. But we all have losing streaks, unless your James Bond and Jeff Bishop. I can't even believe they are in discussion with Tom and...

James you've been using the same half-assed shots for the last decade, give it a break lol Lets pick these apart. 1. Sossy has never claimed he's made a living trading the tastytrade way for 30 years. First this is pure bullshit because Tom traded on the floor at the CBOE/CBOT for 25 years...

Dude, hes the bestest most awesomest numero uno #1 option trader in the ENTIRE BLOODY GLOBE. He said it in his personal private jet, it must be true!

Don't worry man, I don't understand most of it. But I keep going back and re-reading, and each time it becomes a bit more clearer every iteration.

You cant be serious lol

TastyTrade gets hate, and I understand why. Regardless, you can't knock the platform Tom has created. Its amazing how many sneak thief's and frauds there are in this trading community, and out of all the guys to receive hate: Sosnoff? To me hes one of the realist "personalities" in this game...

Conversions+reversals, jellyrolls, reversals+rolls yes or maybe a long fly for a credit, discount-arb

How can a retail trader "mint" acting like an MM? And why does this only apply to wider markets?

Hey @ffs1001 I like you because you like bflys', but can you elaborate on what you mean here? Are you talking about surfing for the mid when markets are extremely wide? Or are you talking about conversions+reversals, boxes+rolls, put/call parity?

I'm confused. You don't pay for credit spreads, they are initiated @ a credit, which you sold. Debit spreads are paid for, and the debit paid is your max risk. Also lets say you sold a credit spread, I don't think you can collateralize the premium sold. Theoretically you can? Someone correct me.

If you're anxious you are over-extended -- TOO MUCH RISK Never be anxious man, it isn't worth it in the long-term. Stay small and let your numbers play out themselves. Also try to stop looking at trades in terms of money, and more-so like percentages on risk-adjusted returns, or maybe a...

Actually, isn't variance the source itself? Vol is a derivative of variance, thus variance is the mother? lol

I disagree on the insider info.. Insider's show their hand by large order flow, its up to you and the tools/metrics you use to spot it IF that even pertains to your strategy, for me it doesn't. I like your point about the after-pulse. That might be more fascinating and tradeable than the huge...

Pause.

Won't var-swaps also help the retailer understand the concept of volatility much clearer? I feel like knowing this knowledge could really help us out.
