Liquidity in what sense? If there's no risk, there's no decrease in liquidity. P.S. Other than fees and comms, of course. :) TW wants their $2.60 for this trade, so I suppose that's something...

Well, sure. There's a tiny chance of that happening - but against zero risk, it's still free money (if you're risking nothing but getting a 0.001% chance of a win, just stack up the contracts!) And the collateral is not taken out of your account - it's drawn against the credit that you...

There's a critical distinction to be drawn here, between TT/TW (brokerage/platform) and their educational/advertising arm. As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with the platform or the brokerage itself - IME, they fill just as well/at the same prices than ToS/TDA and TradeStation (even better...

Since it's risk-free and requires no margin, it would be odd if you didn't always have one (or a thousand, or even more) on a limit order. It's free money: sure, the chance of it filling or "coming home" once filled is low - but what does that matter? Even if you get it once a year, that's still...

Note that TT doesn't publish their overall trading results. The couple of times that they came close to it - as I recall, Jim Schultz once had a running tally, and so did their "young guns" (newbie TT employees who had never traded before but were shown how in a series of videos) - they quietly...

The fact that you and your butthole buddy are incompetent fools doesn't require me to prove anything about myself, or to show quadruple your snail-like IQ (trivial as that may be); I'm not the one making hilarious claims, lashing out at people you know nothing about in order to suck up, or...

Oh, it's the standard Internet conflict pattern. I pointed out, calmly, clearly, and with no animus, where I saw a flaw in SB's strategy (as well as mentioning something positive about the video); he chose to knee-jerk about it and make it personal. I blocked him, but his little suck-up buddy...

Facts burn your little butthole that badly?

Ah, so you *are* incapable of understanding what you read when it conflicts with your desire to suck up to your little tin god here. Got it.

Ya know, Einstein's dead. That obviously means that he never did anything worthwhile in his entire life. Can you at least try to make sense in what you're writing here, or are you way past that kind of superfluous concerns?

Try reading what I actually wrote - it's right there in the part you quoted. I never said that trading is a requirement. An understanding of options, along with other common financial instruments, is. I mean, you're welcome to learn carpentry from those who have never heard of wood, or math...

Yes indeed - one of my favorite tools here. B-bye!

Uh, yeah. Your honor, the prosecution rests. :rolleyes::D:D:D

I did - in the (remote) hope of seeing you say something that made sense and that wasn't a rehash of the TastyTrade mantra of "sell puts for yummy, yummy credit". Didn't happen; you just kept mindlessly regurgitating the same old pap, and shilling for them despite the total inapplicability of it...

Oh, there were a couple of decent moments in it - e.g., the reminder that tracking delta and theta in your port is not a bad way to manage it. Although the whole "pray to the gods of TastyTrade and obey their ways, and you too can become a billionaire!" thing felt kinda icky and obsequious...

Why the heck would you expect it to be low-priced? 3500 is in the money (ITM) by $460+, and 2025 is far away in time (time = money.) That call would cost you right around $100k today. If you've got a strong view on politics, you can bet on it more directly. https://www.oddsshark.com/politics/sites

There's enough that filters down from other people's cites/quotes that I can still see him being a clueless ass-clown. Viz: It's virtually impossible to make money directly with options trading beyond a day. There's just too many variables eating away at you. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes...

What, an explanation of the difference between futures and options? It's been done and over-done, my man. Different asset classes, etc.

Not exactly. Ratios are spreads in which you buy or sell more of one strike than another, not three different strikes. This is more like a put ladder... not that names for odd/uncommon trades matter all that much; they change all the time anyway.

"Capturing 65% as profit" seems to be double-speak for "I pay no attention to what the actual risk is as long as I can collect 65% of max return." Not all that surprising that you blew 50% of your account...
