dest's vol-arb and modeling journal

As soon as someone disagrees, look how they turn out and begin barking. I know what I know. I don’t need any help from people like you. All who are here for crumbs from these wackos should also believe in themselves and take up the journey themselves.

Yup,but I didnt want to go there.....

One of my favorites was picking up the phone,having the other side tell me they wanted to buy as many options as I could stomach selling...and to "over hedge"..

Even market makers in derivatives are spanked quite frequently. The frequent broker arb opportunities that presented themselves when I traded prop at a bank group was ridiculous. Most counterparts at tier 1 and Tier 2 banks had no clue where implieds were after market open, especially during higher vol regimes. That includes the interdealer market. Consensus is found through sharing specific levels of commitment, and that is generally a close held secret as it exposes intent and direction. A conflict, as you need to print otherwise you get heat from the sales guys but on the other hand won't make money if you exposed to much of your lineup.

High school math, two years tops and if you have a good family member mentor, even less.
Of course, some people pretend it is complex and all that but at the end of the day, you only need to learn a couple of strategies and when to get in/out and risk management. All that our boy talks about can be explained in simple terms easily. you don’t have to agree but I know for a fact. All the best in your trading.

what do you call ppl that try to talk fancy and shit? what do they try to prove over here? trading is not that complicated. if a door dash guy can do it...so can anyone.

You think you know what you dont know,and thats the issue..
And you may fall under the unteachable camp,which is why you are going at it alone..

But here you are in a Vol thread.Go figure

As you state that it can be explained in easy simple terms.

Can you explain skew lock, switch, and how to implement it?

If you can't do it after what you just wrote, you are just a troll.

Read again what I wrote, dimwit! I said two strategies. My two strategies don’t include skew locks, switch but so what? Lol.
