Yes,and directional can mean many things.Every trade,with the exception of one off Arbs are "directional",be it pure Delta,vol,skew etc... You are in the wrong business if you think success is pure luck...

Since when is selling puts not directional gambling??? and how big are you going to get?? Define "hedging",and every trade is directional gambling,with the exception of one off Arbs

For the majority of traders,I would say if you aren't somewhat decent calling direction,no option strategy will save you... I would keep it simple and go with long options and or verticals,and possibly flys.. I think the average trader cant get short vol in a meaningful way,without risking...

Makes no sense to work a day job and blow up at night.. You need to get your head right

You do realize your "story" is very hard to follow.. Have a day job,day trade at night, aren't profitable, yet your goal is to make 1 mil in the next 12 months.. If you really are gunning for 1 mil,your first real drawdown will be your last.. It will happen.... Ild have a long talk with your...

This topic is obviously a somewhat sensitive one for you,and after reading that you get fucked 50% of the time,I get it... Why on earth a retail guy trades in a space where a penny matters is the only thing I dont fully comprehend....But that is one mans opinion.. The APE crowd was equal parts...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! No I havent worked in this space... I lift offers,hit bids when I delta hedge..without blinking Split markets on spreads 90 percent of the time...

Actually,the real reason was they confused luck with brains...

Almost never,and Im not busting balls... I had a 2.5 year ARB where I couldnt believe how good the fills were ,and it was the pay for order flow crowd that was the other side.. Full disclosure,its gone now, but trading 4- 6 leg structures with zero commish is huge.. I honestly do not know...

You can come after me personally and I should stick to the facts??? Guy worked at Citadel for 9 f-n months,and nows he caters to the APE crowd,wants to revamp the execution system which would coincidentally impact Citadel the most ( go figure),and quite possibly zero commision structure.... I...

If I was triggered,I would be attacking you personally.... You relate to a guy who spends 5 minutes at Citadel and is now "fighting the system" out of his crib,so be it.... Go grunt to the billionare next door to you who lives in a very modest house.... Im sure there are several in your...

You would have to be "somewhat" successful to live in my skin,and that aint happening for you anytime soon...Bra Sorry I struck a nerve.. Triggered much?? OMMMMMMMMMMM

His Laguna house was pretty modest too,all things considered..
