What's the link for their spread picks?

I'm still the same poor man like I was a year ago :(
But I'm hopeful to change this significantly next year... :D
Currently, for me immaterial things like gaining knowledge are worth more than material possessions...

Here I explained the difference between "long" straddle/strangle/butterfly/condor and the "short" versions of them:

Not sure yet whether my definition is correct.

Here I posted a link containing a collection of literature and links for wanna-be-quants and program traders, using the C++ programming language and other languages like Python etc.:

An interesting thread about using diagonals (or calendars) for some legs of the butterfly:
https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/short-iron-butterfly-question.370063/#post-5688196
Similar to my old thread https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/calendar-secrets.369662/
Mine was about only 2 legs, this new thread is about 3 and 4 legs (ie. butterfly, condor, box spread etc.).

Things are as they are!
I'm oldschool, and I'm sure that's better than the modern crap :)

I'm not sure what you think is bad: the colors or the case that it's a console output.
Console output or output to text files has many advantages as you then easily can search them for keywords
as well pipe the output of one program to the next etc.
IMO, these are advanced professional usages beyod the usual silly Windows click click shaet... :)
