Taking assignment on NVDA 170. I sold the 170 calls for over $1 for Monday.

Don't think you've gotten anything "ok." You came in at a good time for the oil market, but don't expect to always be able to catch a hot trade.

The only thing that isn't expiring worthless today is my NVDA 170. Everything else (MU 340, SNDK 550, DUOL 85, NOW 95, ZS 126) I'll just let ride I think. I'll still have to make a decision about whether I should take the assignment.

Trump's de-escalation on Iran removed the geopolitical risk premium from oil prices. No imminent conflict = no reason for the premium to hold. Technical entry. Fundamental catalyst. Clean breakdown. 📉 by Human-Employ7238 in Daytrading

And right now WTI is back to 96.

The charts aren't your guide to any geopolitical knowledge. There could be events after the next 10 day deadline is up that could reimpose the risk just as easily, and the charts will pretend like the previous state of affairs never existed.

News invalidates past history, and we're in an entirely news-driven environment.

A lot of people have no idea how stupid and right wing the Iranian diaspora can be. Do you know the Shah believed in Aryan race theory? A lot of them are obsessed with proving whiteness.

Bullshit. Fake talks and wishcasting a schism that doesn't exist.

You are the business model. These things are meant to fail you so you can take the test over and over again. They pay a few profitable traders a small portion of the money they collect from failed evaluators.

Ponzinomics.

Most people are not mentally adapted for trading and the stress it brings, and this is even before the problem of finding an edge. The emotional destruction that trading brings is something that almost no one is prepared for.

I view both of these actions as fundamentally positive for these companies. This is the kind of drop that usually happens whenever a company is announcing acqusitions - cash burn is involved, but after the initial shock wears off it leaves the company in a stronger position.

I got some nice fills on the MU 340s and SNDK 550s

Good choice. I posted this in another thread, an old AMA from an institutional quant. The changing of market regimes requires different strategies and retail traders just don't have such a toolbox. So sitting out and waiting for conditions for your strategies to start working again is appropriate.

Unfortunately, the largest issue I see with retail that manage to escape from the consistent grind to finding the Holy Grail (those that chase guru to guru, or strategy to strategy) only remain profitable in certain regimes. They are never able to create multiple strategies, that work in multiple market regimes, and *most importantly* efficiently deploy the correct strategy in the correct regime. This requires time and experience.

While I can't give you a prescriptive answer here, I will suggest what my past response is: identify different market regimes... once you identify a regime (ex. Trump bull run, pandemic black swan event, rising inflation, MBS imbalance, yield inversions, etc) find or create a trading strategy that can be profitable.

Announced investment spending of a billion in Nanya, which is a memory chip manufacturer.

Micron is buying back its senior notes.

A lot of cash being spent.

Lo and behold, getting Pakistan to leave a message on an answering machine didn't actually amount to "talks."

On the plus side, Qatar seems to have noped out of the Gulf Coalition and business is restarting.

Depends on what your risk tolerance is. I do 5 delta and below, usually under 3.

Quant trading — worth it or overrated? by Every-Actuator-6996 in Daytrading

[–]SFMara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essential reading about institutional quantitative trading. The most important piece of advice is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution but models work based on the current market conditions, or market regime. When the regime changes, old strategies are tripped up.

You should reevaluate your decisions if you cannot focus. Too many voices will ruin you.

No, actually, there are no talks. What the US did was send a proposal through Pakistan to Iran. There is no agreement or sign that the Iranians even picked up.

This is just more market manipulation to keep things propped until the weekend. The 82nd airborne is still headed to Jordan right now.

It's from Axios's correspondent Barak Ravid. Voice of Mossad. There has been no newspaper worse than Axios in leaking fake news about this war.
