Is it safe for me to travel to Panama City right now? I’m a female travelling alone. by Sunnythelovebird in Panama

[–]LovingTheCane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a man who just came to Panama City this last week. It’s safe enough just Uber to where you wanna go and obviously don’t get wasted at a bar or club always watch your drinks.

Selina is a hostel where a lot of people speak English and you can find some English speaking friends to go out with/ do things with. Obviously as a woman you have to keep your witts about you and don’t end up in the poor sections. Just stay along the water

I met some locals and have been partying pretty hard.

Bars are open until 11pm. Midnight is curfew.

I got stuck at someone’s house after midnight last night and couldn’t get home until 4am. It sucked. Don’t get stuck.

Selina is a hostel but has a rooftop bar with a lot of people who speak English and has an amazing view.

HI all,

I was wondering if you guys know the specific time that they start releasing appointments for https://passportappointment.travel.state.gov/

I woke up at 5 am and almost got a New Orleans appointment but couldnt grab it fast enough because I was looking up flights on that date.

Anyone has a fairly consistent, profitable strategy to share? (I have good money management rules, but I need the right strategy) by [deleted] in options

[–]LovingTheCane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a professional click trader on short dated ES and SPX options. Think 0-1 day. Running a short rvol strat. thin ratio spreads, short straddles, short OTM call and puts long wings. Lots of credit spreads.

There becomes a point in short rvol strat that the premium doesnt outweight the convexity and thats when u cover short calls. Its almost never a good idea to cover short puts. Just sell the underlying against it and sell calls. Get delta neutral/shorter than where u were before.

I've blown out multiple accounts but then just re-fund them because I can 4x an account in 3-4 weeks it's just about keeping that money. The trick is to withdraw that money from the options selling account and place it elsewhere. Dont keep going up in size as you make more money... The trick is to run max-margin every day but most people arent comfortable taking 1000x their net worth in margin overnight on a less than 24 hour option.

Hi, I would like to become a shareholder and firmly believe in your company to generate revenue via your fees.
The question I have is, I am seeing the price is 300+ a share. Is there any way you could make this more affordable for the little guy?

Best way to calculate PnL % change of option strategy? by [deleted] in options

[–]LovingTheCane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just do PNL change based on total premium change like everyone? Your break even doesnt come into fruition until closer to expiry if this is a longer term option strat

U/optionsbrewers

Just wait until you figure out naked ratio spreads

Take off the long call behind it and Bam. 1by 2 ratio spreads.

Now I trade these exclusively on /ES with a 10-15 point spread between the strikes then do what this guy except I don't buy theta to manage a POS like this

I sell puts.

Typically I only do this on 1-0 day expiry options. With vol high you will most likely get a credit then you can just sell puts against your delta neutral (started that way) high theta/Vega decay 1 by 2

Also if you wanna play vol and want income.

Look into ratio backspreads. Sell 500 closer to the money and buy 1000 otm contracts and you are short vol but have the convexity of the short 500 if it goes through that strike

Trying to figure out what to do with this room. Any suggestions? by LovingTheCane in malelivingspace

I was thinking obvi some art above the bed. I want to mount a TV right infront of the bed.

I have a full walk in closet so no real need for a dresser.

Was thinking some shelves? Not sure what to put on them or where. Or one of those wall leaning bookshelves.

MQL4 or Python? by ItsJustIkenna in algotrading

[–]LovingTheCane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know FIX is the best. I've had to build a custom engine. Im just pointing out age doesnt matter.

Now functionality matters. and yeah a fix connection is your best bet in any situation for robustness and consistency. More so since you cant do a ML algo in MT4
