Temporal is a big word. I think you added it as a filler. A zero sum game is always zero sum. So you can’t always lose being long an option (because of theta) and being short an option (because of gamma). And we know no one gives a fuck about delta so we’ll ignore that.
Noobs don’t spout nonsense and then dogmatically claim it’s true. You aren’t a noob. Right? How many times did you call me “shit?” still waiting on those academic papers with the proof of your claims.
No I meant it, in a temporal sense. You don't understand it that's why you think it's a filler. Like I said before, Hence it's in a temporal sense. And no delta is irrelevant. If you understood what I was trying to say or at least tried to understand it, you would understand why.
Is this relevant to what I was discussing? about 10 times I believe although I stand to be corrected.
You aren’t a noob. Same rules don’t apply to you. you are welcome to reiterate your points whenever you want. Or show those academic papers. Pretty much everyone else in this thread agrees with me (certainly those who have extensive experience trading options). Trolls call others “troll”
Dawn,it's pretty clear that you aren't making real money trading. You have a golden opportunity to learn from some very successful traders who are very generous.... Check your ego, forget what you believe to be true and ask intelligent questions....
the ego is the problem. usually is. nobody is out hunting you down. if you're ever able to realize that, then you can at least have a chance.
There was a Wall Street titan (that some in this thread knew personally) who once said something like "They know all the greeks but one: hubris"
35-year back data and we archive off-site. Again, it's empirical not academic. I also didn't insult you - I said it was fun watching you guys snipe at each other. You want a disparaging comment. Monohan said all the index ETFs were 100,000 up back then on the ISE and you guys quit anyway.
