Gold vol was pretty lucrative after the gap yesterday. Fading this drop as well; short otm puts against short spot. Probably down about 5% over the past few days. Being a short gamma guy I'll take $ for $ loss against SPX any day. Pretty happy with how this sell-off has been going so far. Got hurt worse than this on the first corona virus weekend gap.
it's just i worked hard from '99 to earn an honest reputation so i defend it.. im, like emmett says, one of the few educators who proves they trade. but i still beat myself up for failing to trade large size, i still trade way too small, so i leverage my lessons learned via teaching. i remain a skeptic of educators, most fake it or are bsing chart taking internet marketers who add no value. i remain shocked anyone would buy courses from bsers w/zero P&L proof of genuine trading experience. hey look at TVIX, 72 now, im trailing stop at 68 ... booyah lol those are swing trading trailing stops, much wider than i use for day trades
%% I've noticed most of my standing orders tend to get filled- but not all.I would rather get a worse fill than miss the move, so smaller but more orders may work better.Actually some businesses are the same way=thus the ad ''none sold to dealers.'' Odd but true. Of course on ammo, 500 .22 or 550 .22, or more may get the best deal, so it depends, on the market.Younger traders tend to trade to big + blow UP LOL...……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
