    Struggling to Grasp Vomma/Volga of OTM Options

    Not knowing what you're seeing in ToS, it's hard to say, but your intuition is right -- the inside strikes control the situation, and the vega of the position will increase because the net impact on the inside/shorts will out-do the lesser impact of the outside/longs. FWIW, time does much the...

    newbie looking for any general or detailed advice from my peers or superiors

    The CFA curriculum is the closest you can come to a quality MBA. Solid stuff -- zero bullshit. Very broad, though -- it is not targeted to 'trading' per se, but half to two-thirds will directly benefit investing.

    Calendar spread

    I'm away from a trading computer, but it sounds like you have it bass-ackwards. First, nothing in ES expires tonight. Second, you're taking some figures from a software platform that you do not understand. Do this on a piece of paper, first. Map out the date of expiry, then the market price...

    newbie looking for any general or detailed advice from my peers or superiors

    1) Capital Preservation -- never put on a trade without a fully-schemed trading plan, knowing when you will hit your profit-taker, or your stop-loss. NEVER. 2) All brokers (and add-ins) will sell you on their great/latest T/A (that's Tits & Ass) -- the stuff they shake in front of you with...

    Blackmoon

    Your premise is ill-informed. There are major non-fins buying into the technology (not the frigging tokens) right now. It's not about tokens, anyway. (When was the last time a $1 gold coin was actually worth a dollar?) That'd be like buying a car because you like the cabin. (Which, yes...

    Blackmoon

    Seems like "crypto-" is leaving Mom's basement for sure. Kind-of surprised that it's taken securing nuggets to be securitzed in/as a stable market, but there it is. And Blackmoon Platform has quite the solid list of backers, at the moment -- lots of cred right there.

    New Study Confirms That Carbs Make You Fat

    Wow -- a great and inspiring thread. (I'm not usually a reader of non-trading ET threads, I guess...!) Used to run ultramarathons and hike for weeks at a time, training by running an urban (concrete) loop, inserting obstacle jumps/dynamics and some limited weight room times (typical weak-ass...

    Cup or Cup with Handle pattern code example

    There are innumerable ways to define/specify the so-called "pattern" of "a cup." To execute it on your own screen, you'll have to specify what the cup is -- is it the bottom of a parabola? Or is it broader like a soup bowl? Maybe as shallow as a saucer? Then, you have to specify *what* is...

    Moving Averages/Trendlines/Time Intervals

    :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf: Oh, hold on.... 14 trades per day? Nah. Still piker-range. (This explains the Christmas ham that Tom Petterfy sends me every year....:rolleyes:)

    IB post expiry margin question

    If you're not watching those longs, and they end up ITM, you will be assumed to be a buyer, and IB as your broker wants your account ready.

    Algorithm to identify parabolic price action in stocks?

    Personally, I would use a crossover of two EMAs of price that have been filtered through a parabolic parameter. For example: LONG = emaP3 > emaP12 where P# = Psub3 s.t. Psub0 > [Psub-3 * 1+r] and = Psub12 s.t. Psub0 > [Psub-12 * 1+r] r = whatever your definition of "parabolic" is...

    TradingView review: "Screw 'em!"

    In interests of full disclosure, I mentioned/talked-up "the glorious Investing.com" site early in this thread. Was just there this morning (from the laptop in bed w/the morning coffee...:thumbsup:), and noticed that the basic feel of their charting (something I admit I don't use much at all)...

    Sanity check on sharpe ratio calculation please

    Party pooper. :D Just to clarify, "statistical significance" is an empirical measure, and aside from violating I.I.D. assumptions by constantly stringing together sequentially-created, highly NOT I.I.D. data as pretty much *everybody* in the financial world does...
