    Do you input your desired trade/price or do you scour options chains for opportunity?

    I'd be surprised if you could populate a chess board. Please, more animal metaphors. They are awsum.

    Constant Delta Option Price Relative To Time

    If you're looking for risk to strike then calc the atm value against the prem you sold. You'll need to use some sort of sticky strike model or use the current skewed vola for the put when it goes atm.

    So price the delta of the ATM. Any what-if will give you that.

    Mt.Gox says it found 200,000 bitcoins (120mil usd) in 'forgotten' wallet

    Karpeles has been stealing for years. I am sure he could've paid back the larceny out of transactions, but f*cked up. Now he's going to make a deal to avoid prosecution and keep $30-50MM in Bitcoin. Watch for it.

    +1 Karpeles has been using it for a piggybank (prior fraud conviction) and all was peachy until the thing went up 500x.

    Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

    TBH that would not work to gain mass. It would be ok if you were at a maintenance level. I do not do a traditional 4-split as the only isolation exercise I do is bicep curls, so I wouldn't be the guy to recommend a split for isolation exercises. I integrate Oly movements on my DL days and on...

    I have World-class trails outside my door (Tahoe Rim, etc). My metcon is hiking, lap-swimming, bouldering and thrusters. I was a cyclist in my twenties and my VO2Max was in the mid 70s.

    Not at all. I am familiar and have nothing bad to say. I was a 5x5 guy for many years.

    Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

    For the CrossFit guys. I have nothing against the "chesties" and I can do 18-20 pull-ups and 5 handstands. I did some chesty sets last night and was surprised at the back workout. I am a convert.

    SD the most hepatotoxic steroid I've ever seen, other than maybe Halo. I've always stuck to pharma, but I have a lifting buddy who was hospitalized for nearly two months after 50mg for a six-weeker. Of course the dose was insane. He was on a transplant list but slowly improved. I am a p*ss and...

    I would advise against it, unless you're living in a condo/apt and need a small footprint or have to worry about noise. A $600-$1,000 rack (BodyCraft F-series) is perfect for the garage. Mr. Heater makes a dual tank portable heater if the garage is not heated. Plus, Summer is just around the...

    Rogue Fitness is a great resource for Oly lifters. The largest selection you're likely to find. I would recommend against buying a needle bearing bar unless you're going with the Eleiko or Ivanko. The bearings on the lesser bars (Pendl*y, Rogue) will eventually accumulate grit, chalk and dust...

    Someone asked in PM for a good but cheap bar to use for drops with bumpers... the old York split-sleeve bars are tremendous (80s to 90s era). They used to be everywhere but you can't find them easily any more. Check your local craigslist, but be sure they look like this:

    why use atm strike to trade iv vs rv?

    Well, the skew mitigates both moments.

    The bumpers deteriorate after a few years, but the bars will last a lifetime. If you're going to splurge; do so on the bar.
