So basically knowing Fridays up move at the EOD was short sellers taking profits reassures you psychologically, and also benefits you as you are short inverse ETF's?

How does Paulsons quote help us retail traders? Just curious. And how was Fridays price action "free money"? Although yes $SPY did fill that March 12 gap down, but it occurred within a 30 min frame, so unless you're literally looking for intra-day movements and scalp stuff like this, but even...

Lets assume it is indeed short covering. My question would be, now that you know this.. how can and will you use this information for your trading approach to this up coming week?

This question is as old as finance itself. Firstly, I know you gave an example of a portfolio net liq of half a million, and allocating 100% into $SPY, as I'd never do such a thing but for examples sake lets work through some points. I'm wondering what is the most efficient way to hedge such...

Sounds like a porn scene.

I'm surprised ET has a "Fixed Income" forum yet no Volatility forum. Anyways lets get a discussion going on variance. I am a complete neophyte when it comes to variance, I just know the basic sq. of vol stuff, but I'm trying to understand this stuff better. I've read @sle and I know TBS knows...

This ish isn’t fiction it’z too real

Yesterday I liquidated my weekly put fly's in single-names. Total Trades: 17 Wins: 12 Losses: 5 P/L Open: $1,344.22 I'm surprised the single-names haven't moved "down" as much as the index's. Yes, the magnitude has exploded in all these underlyings, but even that didn't effect my flys...

Wowzers, you think SPX will be back around 3100 by this week? Whats your thought process for this trade?

This guy is contradicting himself a bit here. He's trying to sell his image to the same suckers who follow these "fake gurus". Anybody who follows someone else obviously isn't a real trader and doesn't know how to trade, or is a beginner in the learning stages. But any real-trader follows...

Some quants plan for the 7 sigma move ;)

Link?

The market going up is the problem my friend

Welcome to the party

Seems like you're either trading a product too big for your mentation and need to reduce your risk. Yes, you could support an even larger position but what would this cause to your mental? And I agree micro contracts are great for training your psych before moving onto the E-mini's. I just...

Okay, so going by your number of 346, that's about 0.000001% of the U.S population.. Idk if "brace" is the correct term here sstheo lol

TBS, When comparing SPY IV to find rich/cheap trades, what number are we talking about here? For example, are you using SPY overall implied volatility which is under "Todays Option Statistics" on thinkorswim? Or are you using the FMATM? I'm assuming you'll use the same number to compare XYZ...

TBS, okay lets say you calculate the above statement, once you get a signal for the dependent variable then what? What I'm trying to ask is, is this in real time? Or are you hunting for discrepancies in spot-vol, and implieds over the weekend? Idk if I have ADD or if I'm consuming tooo much...

Assuming you have skin in the game at this curious and opportunistic time, with the recent calamity we've seen, which is far from over, how has your portfolio performed? How have you reacted and adjusted? How have you liquidated? Deployed more capital at opportunities? I'm curious to get a good...

what strike and exp is your risk reversal? just curious.
