Do you trade thin markets?

does a broker have freedom to trade small stocks?

 

I once asked a broker if they could provide me with a weekly list of positions on their clients accounts with all identifying information removed so I could fade them. He said no….

 

We are gamblers. 0.1% for a gambler is very good odds.

 

You just have to turn pro and be a market maker, you will see all of the positions.

I actually bet against myself by buying options. I started out like every retail, did CC and CSP. Not making any real money after ~ a thousand trades, so I reversed and bought.

 

Yes I can.

 

What is cap? So you just buy call or put instead of selling covered call or sell put?

 

csp: cash secured puts.

Short answer is yes that is mostly what I do these days.

 

I am only legging into a position that cannot be open by a exchange-traded spread order
Legging in can be costly especially in the long run. It's not worth it for me. I hold positions for weeks and months usually so I am ready to give up couple ticks I lose by not getting a legging "discount"

 

No, I don't trade in thin markets due to the higher risk of volatility and slippage.

 

You must not be a real trader.

For us traders, volatility is our friend. A market without volatility is not tradable.
