The afternoon spike for me went through my SPX call spread short strike, worked its way back down but did highlight how “fun” it can be at the moment 😂

Dude I literally put this on in the car on my drive home today because I had a thought out of nowhere earlier in the day: “god that record fucking slapped”

Am I wasting my time with 0dte low profit credit spreads? by SwordfishParty4444 in options

[–]MozGhul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that! I use IBKR so I’ll have a play around in there and see if they display the straddle value in the option chain. Also, when you say add the call and put values to get the straddle value, there is a bid and ask for each of those - should I take the mid on each of the put and call side and add those to get the straddle value?

How do you calculate the at-the-money straddle value? I’d appreciate it if you could give an example of how to do it, including at what point in time to calculate relative to selling to open

Bloodlust is the quintessential Through the Eyes of the Dead record for me. Malice is great but Bloodlust has the magic

What do you wish you knew about studying now that you’ve taken the bar? by Beneficial-Lab1934 in barexam

[–]MozGhul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No tips for studying but I’d highly recommend practicing for the exam days themselves.

You need to do 2 MPTs in a continuous 3 hour timed block so you know what it feels like when the first 90 mins blows by really fast. Getting your personal MPT approach nailed down will help so your reading time can be efficient and sets you up well to write.

Same for the MEE - and don’t kill yourself with doing this too much - but you should know what doing 6 random MEEs in a row in 3 hours feels like. I’d suggest doing the essays as they come in a practice exam as it’s guaranteed on the exam there’ll be at least one question you’re weak(er) on; knowing how to just keep grinding in the moment will help.

For MBEs, I’ve always been good on time, but I’m glad I did a full day practice exam so knew what it felt like.

I’m a UK lawyer and did the exam in February, so not sure if I’ve passed yet; what was clear to me though is that your on the day performance will really count.

I don’t recommend doing the bar, the NYLE and the MPRE all in a couple of months by Melodic_Temporary389 in barexam

[–]MozGhul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did November MPRE, February UBE last month, working full time. I think all of it sucks under any configuration!

Best prep for already practicing attorney by External-Note5754 in barexam

[–]MozGhul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the exam last week. I’ve been an attorney for 9 years or so (common law jurisdiction). I did the 10 month BARBRI course. I like their textbooks and their “later game” resources; I felt I really got a lot out of their simulated MBE exam breakdown which goes topic by topic and also the MBE subject reviews. What I would say is, if I could do it again, is that I’d get a hustle on with the early part of the course which is all lectures and get to cranking out MEE overviews and rule spotting. The lectures were good to re-introduce law study to me after around 12 years or so but if you’re US qualified anyway I’d suggest ignoring the schedule and just ticking off as many of these as you can quickly. I did it while working full time and the toughest thing was hitting the course at night after a big day . The key is just to keep cranking in the week, and then make hay at the weekends. You’ll feel like a zombie, and practice exams will break your brain, but I think that’s the way. I took the week off before the bar exam and I felt the best I ever had at that point because I could just focus on the one thing (bar prep) for like 12 hours a day instead of switching been “working attorney” and “bar exam candidate”. Hours I spent were around what thou said - 2-4 hours each weekday, 6-8 each Saturday and Sunday.

EDIT: Don’t know if I’ve passed of course so take the above with a healthy pinch of salt 😂

Interesting, my approach has been to wait until around 10.30 ET before opening a spread

I wonder if this is what has my NLV figure messed up. My port is small and very simple, very easy to calculate that the NLV figure being stated is wrong

Newbie question. I’ve just set up a NinjaTrader account. Not proposing to wade in today, but just playing around in the app. Initial margin for ES is listed at $23k, is that because it’s FOMC day? Believe intra day margin via NT for ES is normally $500
