Wow this market is total garbage these days.

If you have a model why would you even consider selling delta 3-5 garbage?

You've got one pair of eyes so how is "VR" going to help you anymore there other than you turn your head rather than hitting a keystroke? Traders use multiple monitors for both peripheral vision and reducing keystrokes, that's about it. It isn't required by any stretch.

ctrl-left, ctrl-right, can do it all day right now and with gestures to boot. No need for VR anything.

Come on dude, you don't need to predict things or be right *consistently* - you just need to do it enough to have positive expectancy. The entire point of the prior discussion is that the positions you're talking about putting on are inherently dangerous and exposed to massive gamma and vega...

Smells like they're mighty interested in ECN rebates to me.

Why don't you just trade Indian futures markets if you're looking for something to trade? That's one advantage you do actually have - as non-Indians cannot touch those.

Where are the "hedge positions" in the log that you posted earlier? Are you accounting for their eventual losses in your P/L? GTC orders are a half-ass form of risk control, particularly when you're trading SPY and SPX - you will get smoked on a gap down like 8/24/2015.

You keep talking about theta - but do you understand gamma? When you're short OTM options about the only thing you've got going for you is the low probability of them ending ITM, *in the normal case*. However, as things go wrong in the trade and the strike *approaches* being ATM (or worse ITM)...

Yep, I keep telling people this.. stay on the right side of gamma FFS. I think a lot of people into these types of strategies are really just interested in "high win rate" or "always does this" strategies. They don't really mind the *threat* of that every once in a while loss that kills their...

There is no risk management of any sort by LOOKING at an analyze tab in TOS or any other program. If you're going to sit here and tell me jacking around with vol-jump settings in the TOS analyze tab is some form of risk management I'm going to laugh right at you. The only form of real risk...

Seriously? "living" on the analyze tab of a retail punting app is not even remotely risk management. You will get smoked in the long term with this strategy. Hell, you'd probably be *safer* over the long run selling ATM straddles than these short delta/short gamma OTM nukes.

Think ES will be heading back up to 2080 land before anything substantial happens.

IMO, you're missing out on WAY more than 120$ in opportunity by not including ICE energies, softs, interest rates, and financials markets. Why even sweat 120$ a month anyway?

I'd probably add: and are NOT correlated inter-pair but ARE correlated intra-pair.

Wow I take back anything positive I said earlier - if this stuff actually has veracity then this guy sounds like a real slickster kook of the highest order.
