Lol.....Now thats a big swinging dick..

Nice try,now post your 3 month performance...

Let's see your performance for the last 3 months..

What you need to do is buy a program such as Quantshare or Amibroker and develop relatively simple Moving Average/Breakout systems..Develop them with stops and without stops.You should be able to get a pretty good idea of the distribution of the returns. At that point you can decide if its...

1k per is great,but if it's scalable,he should be talking to hedge funds/backers....

Start a log,write down your trades for the next day,and do the exact opposite...

Call side vs Put side doesn't exist...talking in terms of percent of spot makes life alot easier..:)

TOS uses a proprietary formula for Prob of ITM.. FWIW.After a 2 second look,it appears that TOS is relatively consistent in their inconsistencys vs Delta...Look at the respective Delta options(put vs call),and you will see a pattern Not sure why you care,its simply some proprietary gobbly gook...

Ild look at high vol stocks vs low vol stocks to see if they make some sort of an adjustment.

From a TOS article..They seem to have their own home brew voodoo.. The calculations may be slightly different from the option’s delta, but the two readings are generally within a couple percentage points of each other. Either reading can be used to help define the trade's risk.

Are you looking at Probability of Touch?? That's apx 2x Delta.. Edit..Saw your screen shot...Ill look at the Prob ITM calculation

Where and how are you coming up with the % probability of OTM ?? Doesn't make sense.. 30 Delta options should have an apx 70% OTM .. What percent of Spot options are you comparing??

You are long the 95 call and and want to sell the 115-95 putspead as protection??? No disrespect,but you should take your profits and gry a better handle on options.. Am,I,m9ssing something?

60k per year for 20 years at 11 percent gets you 4 mil plus..Thats the only way you have 4 mil in the stock market.. At least be truthful...Nothing wrong with being smart enough to ride the bull .

Happened to me starting at 12:45..

Were you trading at apx 12:45 est?? Their entire system crashed.. Orders appeared to have been sent,no fills for an hour,couldn't cancel,but you could enter new orders and wait an hour to get fills.. It was a disaster...mercifully,I was trading small,but it took me out of my long TSLA position..

I do have an account at IB..The problem today was everything was frozen at TOS and I couldn't cancel orders,get fills..I had no idea what my position was...System came back up,but still wasn't getting fills.. Does anyone know when IB shows a market and size on a fly,is that IB proprietary...

Not at all..i found myself trading 4 legged monsters and paying 6 bucks each way..i have zero issue with IB other than that..

Back to IB for me

IC,if you are strictly trading direction and using options as a cash substitute,you really dont need to get fancy..Your main decisions will be should you buy 1 80% spot call as opposed to 2 105% calls...And that is "your call",no pun intended:) At some point,you may want to beta weight your...
