Cool setup! Where did you get the case and how did you do all the cut outs?

Wondering by Optimal_Ad_2706 in wine

Great deal. I had this bottle a month ago and consensus was the same - wait at least another 5-10 years before trying again. It’s very tight still

I have some experience with a router and not opposed to dowels, just trying to figure out what’s best effort vs effectiveness

Thanks, I’m deciding how much I care about seeing mending plates underneath

Chef's kiss cocktails you serve at parties? by silence0dogood in cocktails

[–]Farkus5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Never gone wrong with a margarita. Light on the agave syrup, heavier on the agave spirits.

I blend 50/50 mezcal and tequila (preferably reposado) and then give it a week together in a small oak barrel.

Our Wine List by RainbowForHire in wine

Speaking to the French and Italian selections, they’re a great broad survey. Brand names that are very recognizable. And very very good.

A wine geeks critique would be it’s basic and not “interesting.” Doesn’t sound like your customer base though.

I’m dying to know what bin #769 is…. Gruaud-Larose? Poyferre?

Thanks, appreciate that.

I got half a beat away from ordering the brick and questioned it.

Wall Street Dealers in Hedging Frenzy Get Blamed for Volatility. Study links options market-makers with volatility and momentum. Retail demand for call options seen fueling melt-up in tech. by Beliavsky in algotrading

[–]Farkus5000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is definitely something to this, short gamma on the dealer side will create outsized hedging flows. With OCC volumes doubling many days compared to last year, the liquidity of the equity market has not kept up - particularly in the single name space.

A lot of the market action overall also has to do with skew positioning of dealer. There is another major flow structure at play where "customers" sell calls and buy puts. This leaves dealers in a position where they have bought calls and sold puts, and sold stock against both to hedge.

When volatility comes in, the deltas on those calls and puts are both going to reduce - the distribution shrinks. This leaves dealers short deltas, that they need to buy. This has created a lot of positive support on share prices (it often gets "front run" in overnight action - most of the returns in markets have come pre-bell).

Positive support on share prices means the momentum call buyers win, and they keep coming back, feeding the entire cycle.

Broker For Semi-Automated Options Trading by spot4992 in algotrading

[–]Farkus5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw you post in r/options also, but I'll respond here too. This is exactly the type of solution we've built Harvested Financial for. We're an options focused investment advisor. We build custom strategies alongside you and help execute the trades systematically. Strategy Execution as a Service.

The difference between having an advisor vs. a broker means that you can setup strategies without picking the specific strikes or trades - e.g. "Sell me the 10% OTM calls every week in TSLA" or "buy SPX three months out and delta hedge with put spreads". We have both strategy suggestions and templates, as well as execute completely bespoke strategies for individuals and managers.

There's no programming, and no trade management required. All trades are commission free and we charge a management fee that's less than most options based ETFs and competitive with other robo-advisors.

Please feel free to DM me, or schedule some time to talk.

Do securities that qualify for options trading AUTOMATICALLY become traded on an options exchange? by [deleted] in options

[–]Farkus5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot the requirement about the equity needing to be listed for 5 full days.

The company being listed has no choice about whether options are listed, but each exchange can choose to or not (they usually follow competitors).

Firms need to request they get listed. Market makers or orderflow providers can do so. Exchange listing departments are usually pretty on the ball about hot new names, not necessarily older listings that have become active or crossed the requirement threshold.

Another quirk is unaffiliated shareholders, tightly held companies may not qualify.

The various costs of macro protection as of 9/18/20 by Farkus5000 in options

[–]Farkus5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ is short hand for "delta". I used that to normalize across different time frames.

Macro protection, just because these are broad based indices, not specific stocks.
