I believe the hedge fund started out okay, but then went thorough a difficult phase - the issue of scalability meant the fund had problems getting...
Yes that's the one. It's been a good experience, and I have competence in pre-earnings calendars to the point where one of my portfolios is...
Not in the way you two are trading earnings (ie. hold through earnings) - I enjoy following your adventures and want to adapt what you do into my...
Can I rudely butt in here and ask which thread this was? Thanks
Thanks for posting the trade. I didn't take it, but am interested in how this turns out. I'm curious at how you get the max payoff being 2X upside...
@LondonPorpoise , in your original VXX screenshot, you realise you are buying 100 lots? When I enter the same trade with 1 lot, I get margin of...
I closed my ZB/ZN spread - this was a buy ZN and sell ZB trade opened on 20-Aug (ZN was 131'040, ZB was 163'320 at the time) and closed today - ZN...
I closed this credit spread today for 0.14 (having opened for 0.35 two days ago), giving around 0.20/contract profits. CL has fallen sharply in...
@HereGoesNothing , I'm not judging your trade, but trying to understand it - esp. the role that gamma plays. With that in mind, am I right in that...
I'm curious how the long gamma is hurting you. If you are long gamma, then you must be long delta; if you are long delta, then you must be long...
I couldn't help but open a call credit spread on CL. Oct 60-61 strikes. Funnily enough the underlying was 58.36 when I opened and literally within...
Are you sure? That's never the case for me. I'm with IB. Try it with an SPX credit spread for example. On a 10 wide ATM credit put spread on SPX...
This is exactly why it's called 'margin' - you don't need to have the max loss cash equivalent in your account to open the position.
I trade for a living and with my own funds (for around 10 years). So, the answer is a "Yes". For me. Because my strengths and personality is more...
Why do I trade options? - Because they allow me to sell time and volatility. - Allow me to profit using delta-neutral strategies. - Give me an...
Over what timescales are these changes happening? Cheers
I'm glad I am not the only one. I opened a long future + protective put in the Z19 (but puts expired on 06-Sep) when CC fell to around 2350 in...
I see that cowardly Dest has put me on Ignore - as soon as someone starts fighting back, he runs with his tail between his legs.
This says a lot about your level of maturity. If you have a better name for the structure then lets hear it. Otherwise, you're just behaving like...
This is essentially a double calendar, although normally a double cal would be done with Puts and Calls at different strikes, and both OTM. Eg, if...
