    I hedged to flat delta. I don’t alwaysbuedge overnight but if a stock is gapping I will. Liquidity sucks but I would rather pay 50 cents in bid offer than ride short delta for 3 dollars.

    I liked your idea. I sold May strangles and I just hedged the delta. The problem with being part time is that I was talking to someone as I saw the stock gap up from 144 to 148 (where I hedged). Expecting reset to 35 vol and I will see from there - so far, expecting to lose small.

    Well I pay a fraction of what the dma brokers charge which (as said before) is a real cost savings. It’s unclear how much that option I’m selling is worth (a soft cost).

    A controversial part of Robinhood’s business tripled in sales thanks to high-frequency trading firms

    Let’s say you are actually trading 50k shares. In stocks that are liquid and low dollars I have never had this issue (when I trade 50-100k shares through my podunk PFOF happy broker). In illiquid stocks I have, but it’s 10 cents. But that cost is embedded into the risk premium.

    A controversial part of Robinhood’s business tripled in sales thanks to high-frequency trading firms

    payment for order flow isn’t that shady. It keeps costs down - it’s the only way Robin Hood can give you free trades. That or they sell all your private information to Russian marketing firms. you get the hard benefit of lower commissions and give up the soft benefit of “better execution.”

    Tax Returns?

    I thought refunds were up once the fed government opened. The tax reform was actually corporate tax reform. It had virtually no benefits to individuals other than the trickle down effect from corporations. Owners of non-professional c-corps and s-Corps really benefited.
