My goto is credit / debit spreads. Dec 2023 SPY 250/150 Put credit spread is a $5.73 credit, which is about 2.4% return on capital. Very easy...
I see mouth, but I don't see money.
"Past Performance is not indicative of future blah blah bla".... but historically December through February are strong up months for the SP500....
If the exchange pays the rebate to the broker1, and broker1 pays to the trader, and broker2 doesn't charge for taking liquidity, who is losing...
This doesn't make sense to me. Why is the amount of risk taken a concern of the government? If I understand correctly, the source brokerage was...

I am using options as cheap access to leverage. I typically buy and rotate 2 year ATM calls, once every two weeks. As of close Friday, these...
