@Same Lazy Element dude of course you're infamous lol Anyone who is an avid ET lurker of the back-blocks looks forward to each post by @sle

Damn, I've ONLY used TOS, I may be biased but its the cleanest looking platform out there. Not that looks matter.. What are some good sources I can use to watch the curve? Which platforms? websites? I'm assuming CBOE?

i feel like professionals should be smarter than this though, no? I always think they are then realize a lot of these firms still are overextended regardless of the risk models.

true, i didn’t realize you were talking about fast markets. Yes I liquidated a big position, using a market order a few weeks ago because I needed out ASAP, lost $900 on a market order... but I would’ve lost a lot more using a limit

bone, how would one look at the crude curve on #thinkorswim platform?

Now i'm motivated to get a discussion cooking. Knowledge is power and I firmly believe understanding variance-swaps, vol swaps, gamma swaps etc will help the retail trader grasp what in the heck optionality is a bit better then not diving into it. "The correct measure of deviation is...

Holy shxt, I just realized you are the infamous @sle Glad you are still here dropping gems into perpetuity, not going to lie, I've studied your posts many many times and still do on a daily basis. Thanks for all the knowledge man.

Amazing to see how one's P/L curve looks eerily similar to the price path of a financial instrument.

Bold ass statement man. Especially since we were just at ATH forever and just ended like a month ago. I guess your post is more determined on how long will you live (lifetime)

Is this pool... dark, by any chance?

The Universe is one, infinite, immobile. The absolute potential is one, the act is one, the form or soul is one, the material or body is one, the thing is one, the being in one, one is the maximum and the best... It is not generated, because there is no other being it could desire or hope for...

Bro I'm sorry but this isn't going to cut it. The market just sold off 10 sigmas, you can't just roll down puts lmao, unless you can give me some details on what exactly your rolling? I can't even imagine how expensive that cheap short gamma became once the down move began. I'm sure convexity...

@ironchef, you must be the most modest man on this forum. Every post you utter is downing yourself. Dude, you gotta cut yourself some slack and start giving yourself the props you deserve. Look at how far you've come, and remember.. when it comes to this trading shit at least I'm thinking the...

I've traded dead cats for years. Its one of my favorite strategies that keeps on giving. I'll look at several different time-frames of the underlying, if the longer-term confirms with the shorter all the merrier. Dead-cats come in all shapes and sizes. Usually capitulation from a huge earnings...

"I became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin. I was seeking...

What is adaptive? Also why not use a limit order instead of a market?

Not sure what you're arguing here? Of course that all sounds great in theory, but when you have skin in the game, your curve will fluctuate in ways you preferred it not regardless. So IMO, the ultimate determinant of a certain equity curve is the position sizing of the trades, frequency, and...

TradeTheory, why did you open 2 separate bear put spreads in the $SPY? its almost like a long put condor
