I've only been closed out by IB on short volatility ETF trades. Seemed unexplainable to me at the time and I let it go.
I can't sleep with just position sizing and a large cash position on a short UVXY, TVIX or even VXX trade. I need at least a 50 percent black swan...
I do some LEAP puts on UVXY and if the sponsor hadn't changed it from 2X to 1.5X I'd be winning right now on my Jan 2020s. I am winning on my...
Yes design-wise this is exactly what I seek only cheaper and preferably just the monitor not the PC. Hate using Windows except when I have to, and...
Hmmmm, might give it a try. Tks.
If I am, say, short 100 shares and long a protective call, my risk is capped at the distance between the stock and the strike, no? I've found that...
The former wasnt really what I was looking for, but might be a solution if I can find the right monitor and a fold down stand.
Very cool. Price is reasonable. Wonder how well it works with a MacBook. Referring to the sliding screens on a laptop product. If it works well...
Yeah, I'm a bad hub; I take over the dining room table sometimes. So the aforementioned TV option really doesn't work (and I already use a laptop...
Wife would freak.
The wife hates looking at the arrangement, laptop, desktop monitor, I sometimes set up and leave on the dining room table on weekends. If I could...
Specifically, shorting TVIX and hedging against a sharp large drawdown with long VXX Far OTM calls. I usually keep about 70 percent of this...
Ok. Let's say I have 200k in an IB account and I grind out a decent return selling ES credit spreads or whatever. I am also a writer who deducts...
Let's say I sell a -90 delta and I want to buy it back at -50 delta. Using IB. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see as an option, pardon the pun.
Actually, I meant options on UVXY and VXX ...
Am I right in hearing that UVXY (and I presume VXX) get K1 treatment at Interactive Brokers and Sec. 1256 treatment at TD Ameritrade?
Just curious, what is RTD server, can I use with EXCEL for MAC?
Thanks guys.
I'm wondering what kind of spreads you put on and where on the timeline.
Looking at that guaranteed long-term loser UVXY. Now there are many ways to trade this ETF, but looking only at short LEAPS, would an ATM, DITM...
