How long have you been doing them? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ou-like-post-it-up.356297/page-6#post-5355388 Bull put spreads https://www.dogpile.com/serp?q=bull+put+spreads
Not too too long... like 5 years. But I've been working with risk management software for nearly 20. And as I mentioned, obsession w/ computers since I was a kid.
How would you characterize the nature of a typical bull put spread that you do in terms of hold time, number entered into on a weekly basis, any simple basic observations you've made while you've been trading them.
Lol, is this a job interview? For obvious reasons I'm reluctant to go into nitty gritty details. But, suffice it to say I read this (along with a boatload of other stuff) and then spent a large block of time building [more] software.
When one has pride invested in their computer, one goes for bigger, better, faster, newer, more costly. When you see the computer as merely a "work tool", you can buy for "function" only. And as computers depreciate faster than cars, might as well buy a good, older one and save some $$$. (Buying a "good" one is the key... like comparing a used Lexus to a new Dodge Neon... which is why I recommend workstations for trading... even used workstations... as they are said to be manufactured with "server class components")
OMG, why?!?!? It's like talking to a brick wall. Fine, if you really want to save a few $$ you can get a raspberry pi 4b for less than $100 and use that instead
Lol, yeah... I think they call it creative destruction Out of curiosity @easymon1... what instruments are you mostly trading? Or aren't you trading at all? From your post history it seems you're just here for the technology talk. P.S. I've worked/consulted for outfits a lot bigger than Puget... the research lab of a dow 30 component at one time even.
