atticus already stated vol66 does short gamma/iv. Are you guys trying to figure out how he picks his entry/underlying?
hey, look at lesscor, et al... we who earn well can't tell you how to do it...in my case i can't even tell you what i trade..i only posted some p/l to give hope to others because i was there once too.. and for those dopes who think i sell puts , etc.. note in my p/l posting i made nearly 100k in a month that had 3 weeks of selling off.
That's alright, i was just wondering what people are trying to get out of you by asking all those silly questions. I dont think this board needs more hope though, we have tons of those here, more like a hard dose of reality.
I am surprised that the above post did not contain other expressions such as : "If this does not help you, I do not know what can". "How do I do it, glad you ask", "Let me tell you what it is: it is not A, it is not B..., it is not Z", etc. I come across such expressions on the internet a lot, and in internet newsletters/etc I receive in my junk email address.
Don't get too bitter. This thread was actually worth something, in that yours truly, even after my son said "Duration!" didn't actually connect the dots between dv01 and what gets done in options. It's an interesting thought. Whether it leads to an improved p/l, who knows, but at least it's something worthy of investigation. As for the boastfulness of 66 and atticus, leave them. Either they're successful, in which case they can boast all they want, or they're not, but then we'd never know that anyway, right?
if i was boastful i would have found my TWO p/l link posts 2 pages back ( my et settings have been set at more posts per page, so therefore less pages) and posted it for the guy who clearly does not have the work ethic to make it. i.ve done well for 15 yrs, but no one will ever know but me and my family. i'm not here to sell something; just proud and having a little fun. sorry for not being bitter, i instead took my envy of good traders and made myself good. you guys need work, brains , less leverage and well capitalized. that's how you make in in any type of trading.
