Haha, no - I'm originally from Russia. A Muscovite, in fact. This is just one of the reasons that I see through your scummy lies.

Yeah, and it goes like this: #1: Don't be so stupid as to trust anyone in Russia with anything financial. Or really, anything else. #2: ...nothing else is necessary. Let me guess: you have stacks and stacks of bullshit ready to retail to anyone who will listen? What an immense surprise...

(Anglophone folks - apologies, but certain things can only be properly expressed in the original idiom. Anyway, you can guess the topic from the pic at the bottom - even though it's also in Russian.) А на кой хуй нам такое удовольствие понадобилось? Переводить деньги в Россию и там ими...

Nope. I've scraped too many of these bastards off my hull (and been sliced to ribbons by them while doing so) to confuse a limpet with anything else. Although "barnacle" may have been just as good of a description, above... Although that lamprey is pretty impressive-looking. Reminds me of a...

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I don't see how showing up on a red day to tout how bears were ALWAYS right - after they spent every single green day losing their asses, lather/rinse/repeat - is any different from, or less moronic than, what you're laughing at. Any one-sided bet is a...

Those greeks will get you every time! :D :p

I believe the *BELCH*. Not so much the fake "company manners". Come on, now, ON... let that borborygmus RIP and be proud of it! :D

Wow. [blink] Much appreciated, @easymon1 . You're a nice person. :)

Tough question, for a couple of reasons. One, there's a wide range of what "seasoned" (or perhaps "good") means to me vs. other people; e.g., one of the folks whose expertise and experience I respect, Peter Resnicek ("ShadowTrader") is a TA guy who trades options. He's good and successful at...

"Time-series momentum is a recently proposed absolute momentum strategy that exploits autocorrelation in the time series of securities’ prices. The term was first introduced by the AQR Capital Management LLC." <YaaaaAAAAWN> Tell you what: you read and learn, then risk your money to try random...

Just to keep you hooked in a little longer... :) Tammy Chambless did a bunch of backtesting on SPX spreads, ICs, and IFs for 0DTE, and has a lot of experience with them (and therefore, a number of practical tips for working with them.) Here's a rather nice prezzo of hers on the topic - there...

Thank you; I appreciate it. You certainly don't have to delete anything.

Eeek. :) Much as I appreciate the compliment, I have a long way to go before I'm at the level of competence of the really sharp folks here. I'm careful to only assert things that I have tested myself - i.e., I do my best never to mislead anyone - but unlike @MrMuppet, @destriero, or a couple of...

Yeah... no. Gaps and spikes - and there are plenty of those as you get toward the close - can and will (if you keep trading long enough) put a serious hurt on you. Trust me on this one: don't trade undefined risk in SPX.

I used to trade ICs and flies in 0DTE SPXW quite a bit. It can be a reasonably decent strat - at least in a less-volatile market. The 0DTE fly is one of the few options trades where I use stops.

Is that the same TLT that was trading at 170+ just a couple of years back and is at 113 now? And GLD that was >190 and is barely holding 160? That is, both of them more or less tracking with the market? Just checking.

Nah; it's basically trading instruments that move together (whether direct or inverse), looking for them to drift out of sync, and betting on them to come back into alignment. There's probably some FX pairing, but I'm mostly familiar with it in equities and futs.

Well, I've sold my boat - but I have lots of standing invitations from sailing friends; I have a habit of winning long-distance races for boats I'm on. :) Right now, I'm at the airport heading back east after running around the Rockies for a couple of weeks, so I get to play silly buggers with...

I may be wrong, but I think he's trying to reinvent pairs trading. :D

Ditto; B&H ain't my jam. I was pretty sure I recalled you and I being aligned on these things, anyway.
