retail volatility trading

I meant office chats for our newbie.

But since you know what I do for a living (currently), it's the kitchen sink for me.
 
It's always been "horses for courses" there is far more low hanging fruit available to the retail trader in other areas, often hiding in plain sight. Usually all it requires is an adjustment of risk management practices.

I'm not sure what that means. You can brag about sophisticated volatility trades? Or as a "home gamer" you spend so much time looking for a decent entry that you're going crazy and talking to yourself at the kitchen sink?

What newbie hasn't come up with a nine way Feldman iron butterfly with a skew overlay, thinking they have the perfect structure only to find out they are actually just super short gamma and paid a ton of bid offer for the privilege.
