  1. I was going to look at the top picks for spreads on tastytrade, but tastytrade is BS.

    So, you're a big man like destriero.

  2. What's the link for their spread picks?

    I'm still the same poor man like I was a year ago :(
    But I'm hopeful to change this significantly next year... :D
    Currently, for me immaterial things like gaining knowledge are worth more than material possessions...

  4. Here I explained why I believe Delta is NOT the correct p for the option becoming ITM at expiration:

    Here I explained the difference between "long" straddle/strangle/butterfly/condor and the "short" versions of them:

    Not sure yet whether my definition is correct.

    Here I posted a link containing a collection of literature and links for wanna-be-quants and program traders, using the C++ programming language and other languages like Python etc.:

    An interesting thread about using diagonals (or calendars) for some legs of the butterfly:
    https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/short-iron-butterfly-question.370063/#post-5688196
    Similar to my old thread https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/calendar-secrets.369662/
    Mine was about only 2 legs, this new thread is about 3 and 4 legs (ie. butterfly, condor, box spread etc.).

  8. Things are as they are!
    I'm oldschool, and I'm sure that's better than the modern crap :)

    I'm not sure what you think is bad: the colors or the case that it's a console output.
    Console output or output to text files has many advantages as you then easily can search them for keywords
    as well pipe the output of one program to the next etc.
    IMO, these are advanced professional usages beyod the usual silly Windows click click shaet... :)
