WOW. That was a good way to spend 30 minutes. Bucket-loads of popular culture in there -- every line has something. (Can they possibly keep up that kind of script work?!?!? But, it's Seth Rogan producing, so...... you can hear him in so many lines.) FWIW, "Blair" -- the guy scowling (white)...

Their cash/futures page matches investing.com... https://www.investing.com/commodities/gold-contracts And come to think of it, for ES/SPX, investing.com has always matched IB. FWIW and all that.

What was your average hold? What was your average win-hold? What was your average loss-hold? What this algo for long and short positions? If so, what were average holds by long and short, for total, win, and loss? (I ask because 1) I want to know, and 2) if you haven't worked them up, you'll...

You can post 'em to those who'd be interested, and those who wouldn't -- for free. "No pressure." Unless there is.

Take 1/3rd of the positions you're in now, and put 'em on the other side. "Bingo." :D

I have a range of preferred trade deltas and track them with (traffic-light) color formatting. I compute P(HIT) probabilities separately, but format them in a similar-but-not-identical fashion. (This is Gaussian/Normal, and thus symmetric.) With this method, I can see the differences, by side...

Option chain.

This up-sell slant reminds me of Online Trading Academy -- they sell you on the ease of entering a position, sell you a "patently" false theory for entries, and rely on exit brackets to get/keep your ass out of hot water. So while most "schools" sell you entries and no exits/management (until...

I just checked the CFDs on Investing.com, and cannot match businessinsider, either. (But, FWIW, I would trust investing.com [which will identify the instrument/market being quoted] long before I'd trust businessinsider [which does not]... :cool:

JUST AN OPINION, BUT.... If you're coding something, or going that step deeper to *program* something, there are facts, figures, and logic-based opinions that you have to make explicit, to get them down on paper, to get them down in code, to have them execute (somewhere, sometime) at machine...

I apologize for this glib Christmas Eve post. I was under the impression that the sale/retirement of FED Balance Sheet assets was well under way, and that we had already seen the market reaction to 'quality debt' being back on the market, and the carry-over effects from that into corporate/muni...

"Finally!" :D

The simplest idea, redone in a thousand aphorisms, that yet so many do not understand..... https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-feynman-technique-the-best-way-to-learn-anything

If the *prices* are right, I'd point this to being the Greenwich Mean Time price versus the (local) calendar day price -- which, as long as it's consistent, is no problem at all. I am reminded of the differences as today is New Year's Eve -- with the opportunity to 'share' in Midnight, 24x...

Your results will be entirely dependent on three things *besides* price movement. 1) The DTE of the spread purchased. 2) The time expired during the time you hold the spread. 3) Exogenous movement of overall volatility. So, you'll need a *few* studies over-which you might interpolate a pattern...

Most certainly not. Down 10% is taking it on the chin. Down 20% is taking it a bit lower. But you examine methods, stops, and expectancy; pull up the boot straps, and trundle on, grateful that you have 80%-90% of your shit together. "Blowing out" is end-of-game stuff.

Could easily be one of those unheralded cures. You just keep yer mouth shut, smile a little, say "Thank youuuuu" to the Java Gods Of Greenwich, and keep your eyes glued for the next bit of Stuff That's Supposed To Work (And The Possible WorkArounds There-To...)..... :D

Google is broken, eh. Sucks. Well, here ya go: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iron+condor&t=ffsb&ia=web

This is a naive strategy -- put up just to illustrate a general principle to see how it performs. A strategy-wise Straw Man. *Tweaking* such strategies..... well now! That is a Joy Forever! (Which is to say, if you think it begs for refinement, then by all means refine it! But keep track of...
