One page of code on a Cray T90? This dude lives in a $250K crib with a 90s-era Cray T90 in his garage. OK so say you’re operating a $35MM Cray SC... you think that one page of code is going to stress that thing? I mean has this dude ever written a line of code in his life?
Very impressive resume, even if somewhat embellished. I am amused by the statement that someone could conduct research using private supercomputers back in the 1970s!!! I don't recall there were any privately owned Cray 1 or CDC7600 then.
I hear you. It's not for everyone. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I've refined my craft to where it's not too "noisy" at all. Each week my win % gets better and better. I prefer to improve my win % over time, before venturing out and trying other strategies. I look forward to learning successful strategies that span over days, instead of requiring me to literally watch each 1m candle. Each time I've tried, I tried to scale up how I look at the charts, but it doesn't work. It will take some time for me, but I prefer to focus on <3 days for now and get better with it, build capital, then venture.
if you know what your doing with options trade flex options because you don't have to wait a month to trade 3 days out. every 3 days you can flip positions so doing about 7 times the trades in a month that you would normally do 1 trade.
This is why I only trade options on SPY. Regardless, I definitely have to check out these flex options! Thank you always for your suggestions and tips.
Folks, look at the insanity options causes in peoples' minds. Options are the dark side. Futures are the light side. (FOP are somewhere in the middle. But they are crazy, mostly).
