HUH?? First,the voices in your head say "Who cares where the ES/SPX is going" Followed by "They need to be able to day trade the S&P, options on that intraday direction movement". If you are day trading the SPX(intraday direction movement),then you probably should care where the ES/SPX is...

Unless he committed a criminal act or duped people,Saylor is dam close to a genius. Billionaire status puts him in rarified air

Thats how I remember it... Theres a small operational charge unless its tough to borrow

Not a margin guy,but isn't the short stock rebate simply the credit balance rate minus the fee for borrow?? The fee could be miniscule or it could be enormous for a stock with buy in risk.In that scenario the effective stock rebate is negative and the borrower is not collecting interest,but...

Haven't dealt with this in a long time,but your wording is tricky.i don't believe you are paid to short a stock,but rather collect interest on the credit balance from the short minus the borrow fee.I think we are all saying the same thing. It's been a long time since I traded reversal type...

Wait...Wut??? MBpHo is the reincarnation of that bumbling stumbling idiot SPXoptionsTrader???

Ho,you realize with all your bravado,a snapshot of your PnL would go a long way

Nah,you are not an elite,one of the best or even a genius... You simply havent found the right combination of drugs yet deal with your paranoid Schizophrenia

Yawn.....I have told others exactly what i do.. You on the other hand I would charge for shits and giggles... You did ask nicely,so I will speak in generalities.. A very good year would be apx 50%,with no risk..Never a down day other than marks.. Same exact positions, could deliver 100%,but...

Dead dead wrong,and I would prove it with my PnL for the right wager.. You are correct that “edges” have literally vaporized over the years..

Trust me,I am not way off.. You don’t understand the geometric effect of losses and how it relates to probability and varying the stop/ profit amounts while keeping the ratio constant… Fwiw,you used a coin flip as an example,and you are still clueless as to compounding returns and the effect...

You are way way off Forget edge,thats a totally different subject as how it relates to position sizing and money management..Dont confuse the 2... In the perfect world,to maximise returns you need both... You are way way off and not understanding what I am saying. Run a quick simulation of...

It's a very interesting exercise to choose a fixed ratio of stop loss to profit target, and plug in different "odds" I.e win rate... Risking 1 to make 3 has vastly different returns than risking 9 to make 27,assuming the same probability and compounding .. I know it's a bit theoretical,but as...

I see,you and I have a different definition of "odds" and hence expected return.I look at odds as the probability of an event occurring..The return vs loss,profit target vs stop has nothing to do with the odds in a theoretical example. I get that in the real world as you change your stop,your...

Not following you..Are you saying,if one plays a games with a 50% chance of winning and making 3 percent when right and only losing 1 percent when wrong ,the game does not have positive expectancy??? And if you flip your risk reward,you have the same expectancy as the risk 1 to make 3? If you...
