2 charts today. First is how the current broad market drawdown is affecting my portfolio. Blue line is me, green is a global 50/50 stocks/bonds...
My overall strategy is to use my macro analysis to estimate what delta puts I'm comfortable selling. When I get assigned, depending on my...
[ATTACH] Not part of the regular scheduled programming, but I wanted to see how well my portfolio has held up during the recent "correction."...
There are tons of legit prop firms that require a 57. Do you not want to get one? They will sponsor you to get it and give you test materials to...
Just hold cash. My goal isn't to beat SPX every year but to consistently make 10-20% annually with low drawdowns. It's why my benchmark is a...
Yes, but it needs to be in perspective. So far I only have one tranche of ES that I'm selling covered calls on. That is about 35% of the...

Yesterday the 4450 calls expired and I sold 4425 calls and 4150 puts expiring next Friday making it a covered strangle for a total of 27.25. New...

I always go to my thread after reading Desty's and if I'm being generous, I think I understand maybe 1/2 of what they are talking about in there....
