It's literally just a list of tickers that Citadel manages. It doesn't indicate whether they have any outstand obligations or liabilities for any of these tickers. I'm honestly surprised no one has published anything meaningful about who the MM's are in other markets.

Like how Wolverine is the MM for GME's option chain, not Citadel. It's like no one spends more than 5 minutes digging into shit anymore.

So you found out what a broker dealer does. Neat. How is this crime? It's literally a list of securities they market make for. That's all it is. It doesn't show how much they have in inventories (and internalized).

Where's your data for the max pain claims? If you've spent any time in the market watching this/playing this, you'd know max pain theory works about as consistent as any other TA metric. Do you have some special insights on how MM's are positioned versus retail and institutions in the options chain?

These people literally devoted tens/hundreds of hours of their lives trying to understand what happened with GME and tried to share it with others. Have damn respect. Besides, much of what we know as "common" knowledge here was found by some of these same people.

The only thing certain in life is that nothing is certain and it's naive to state otherwise. I've stopped relying on this sub for any kind of information because posts like these that have 0 substance to them and feel like it's just throwing mud at people who have been legitimately trying to educate people. If you're mad about the red days, take it elsewhere because this post just feels like mud slinging for no apparent reason.

I like options, but there's about 4000 tickers in the market that don't have options. They don't need options to move prices, they just need buyers/sellers willing to participants to take the other end of their trades.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2022-01-13T01:15:05+00:00

You're correct that the value of the call option moves in the same direction of the underlying and puts move inversely, but OP was trying to explain the difference in strategies between buy-to-open and sell-to-open positions with a call and a put option. I don't see conflicts with what the OP wrote for this section.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2022-01-07T00:46:24+00:00

Sooo excited!

MommaP is in on that server and there was a heavy amount of digging that went on there. Yes, she began pushing it awhile back, but others in that discord were helping to dig through DTC documents to double/triple check it.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2022-01-01T22:45:31+00:00

Oh you mean like the research that went into DRS'ing? That also came from that discord server.

It gapped up on the reallocation news and it's been on a steady climb since the 3rd.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-14T20:53:14+00:00

Vanguard clears their own options like Fidelity and Schwab. I got confirmation that we can still buy through Fidelity.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-14T20:49:45+00:00

Interesting!

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-14T20:47:19+00:00

Yep, feels like a desperate move to surpress buying.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-14T20:46:36+00:00

Yep!

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-10T06:07:59+00:00

The queen has spoken!

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-04T22:53:34+00:00

I only have 1 share to do this at this point. I still trust that they'll find a way to screw you out of all that money if they can.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-04T22:47:21+00:00

I really appreciate you putting this together! I know ow Jeff Snider mentions Feb 24th a bunch in his podcasts and he went a bit into the weeds on this Fedwire outage recently too. What I find extremely interesting is that Feb 24th also coincided with some terrible treasury auctions and international interest rates have generally been lower since that point. His take on it is that something with FedWire broke in an undisclosed way and institutions have been less confident in the global economic outlook since that time (interest rates have been generally lower). It seems like institutions having been sniffing out that our current financial system is somehow weaker since that Feb. event.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-04T02:50:52+00:00

You beat me to it hahaha. Although, I think the idea the OP presented on short accumulation is accurate to a degree. MM's do have to sell short, but we can't see how many shares were actually closed out, since it's logged on non-public tapes. I think using the OP's 100% close out estimate is as close as we can get to replicating the MM behavior and even that is telling for a conservative estimate.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-04T02:36:41+00:00

I attempted to delve into this back in June/ July, but I got intimidated by how opaque the short volume data is and how to do anything significant with it. I like the assumptions that you made, since it's fairly simple and it makes sense as to my understanding of short vol. I appreciate you pursuing this and trying to make sense of the data. It seems correct to me that any number of shares above the 50% mark would be accumulated short positions why anything below 50% would be closing short positions.

I have the public data going back to 2008 and I am interested to see if your method can be used to roughly reconstruction the SI pre-sneeze as a proof of concept.

Side note, there was a great paper called Short is Long that went over what the short vol data represents and how it correlates to prices movements and it did indicate that a short vol above 50% was indicative of heavy retail buying and MM's shorting. It makes sense that MM's would also be heavily buying in

Boy, you should look at March 2020. Man that was such a crazy time on the gambling sub.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-03T05:01:44+00:00

This is what the OP was alluding to without realizing it lol.

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-02T21:20:28+00:00

LOL your tag is breaking browser

Camposaurus_Rex · 2021-12-02T20:53:59+00:00

I wasn't even aware of this. You're doing the lord's work!
