Elaborate please..

Hey guys,on a related note I am curious to how some of you would trade TSLA pre battery day.. Choice A) 9/25 565-640-700 1x3x2 split strike call Fly Trades at 1.60 debit. Choice B) 10/16 Long 1 620 call + Long 640 call Short 5 800 strike .20 credit. (I call it a 1 x2.5 spread) FWIW,I...

On another note,there is no inherent mathematical edge to selling an option vs buying it. That belief should get filed with "90 percent of options expire worthless"... I did run a very simple backtest on buying the 30day SPY ATM call vs selling the 30 day ATM put,rolling both.. Over the last...

IB has an option optimiser that "supposedly" finds the optimal strategy per your chosen inputs..I say supposedly as I have never traded off of it,only played around with it.I believe Orats may have a tool as well.Matt (owner of Orats)is on the board,ask him.Hes got a great product

Didn't read the whole thread,but you are correct.Unleveraged,selling puts has slightly outperformed the S and P..If Robert is putting up the returns he claims,then it's,pretty clear he is selling high vol names,which he does say in his,initial posts..No secret sauce here.. What Robert does not...

Kid?? I wish :)

Tossed on the towel on the institutional game?? You worked at an IB and left the gravy train??

Ahhhhhh,It was good old John..

Dam..... I worked at Solly... JW??? Who Da Fook is Dat Guy?? Not JM

JW???? Don't tell me,but give me a hint..

I like selling the 70/80 vertical for a buck way better than closing at 9..

Dont feel bad.I have spent 30 percent of my P&L on commissions.. All options

Well there you go...If you are good at what you do,why wouldn't you maximize your personal return?? FWIW,I traded for Izzy :)

It was a simple question..

I don't know why you don't start a fund and match 50 cents on the dollar

Dam Smart... No one forced the investors to pony up... Go start a fund and don't charge fees.. You are jealous :)
