Bonjour Megane,

Je suis moi-même un trader francais (mais résidant en Allemagne), spécialisé dans les Bull Put Spreads et Bear Call Spreads. Je manage une lettre boursière allemande sur le trading d'options. Si tu souhaites entrer en contact avec moi, je suis sûr que nous pourrions discuter de nos stratégies respectives. Notamment en ce qui concerne la défense des Spreads en difficulté. Mon email: eric.ludwig78@gmail.com.

 

Nouveau mot français: manage?

 

Oh well, I am back in after selling a bunch of AAPL with a good profit !
So my trades for March are the following:

AMZN 1250/1245 20 contracts for a possible profit of 392$
RUT 1420/1410 9 contracts for a possible profit of $365

 

Have you ever wondered what if in the last few months you took your counter parties' positions instead of your own? Then you would be quite profitable up to today.

 

Mmmm food for toughts.....

 

this is a very interesting and informative thread, thanks to all who have contributed.

as for the idoneity of mrs. Megane going back to systematically selling put spreads, i think that that strategy will go back to working 100% of the time for another long stretch once market noise dies down and a couple more all time highs in the indices of the usa are recorded.

here is a chart of the futures overnight sessions (18:00 to 9:30) for the last 12 months and it is transparently evident at what point did janet hand the baton over to jay. around that time some gigantic capitals closed the largest anti volatility positions that had been open since at least 2012 and the overnight ramping up services were paused for 10 days or so, but they have now been practically completely reestablished.




with the nq it is possible to double one's capital every 250 points or so, therefore if one is holding a long position one is bound to do really well. keep in mind that from january 2017 to january 2018 the nq moved 2100 points higher and more than 6000 points higher since 2009. i'm trying to think of some strategy with options that would allow me to go for around 400 points higher on the nq while limiting possible losses and then i would scale out almost completely.
