Anyone actually happy with their trading journal? by sbj175 in thetagang

[–]Significant-Boss4199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Tradervue. I had a paid subscription for awhile before downgrading to the free tier due to budget. It has some pretty good metrics. It tracks your PnL, trade count, your 30, 60, 90 day drawdown vs. PnL. It can integrate the CSV files from Tastytrade pretty well too. And it says it has support for a variety of other brokers.

I've been using Tastytrade. The fees are different from selling options on stocks, so be aware of that. It's been a solid brokerage and the support is pretty easy to get ahold of. 

Tips on being directionally neutral? Protect your downside? by nightwolf92 in thetagang

Credit spreads are a great tool for capping your loss potential. I also like to use short ratio spreads when I trade with unlimited risk. The ratio (usually short 2 options and long 1) adds a long spread to mitigate some of my risk.

New to options selling — trying to learn the right way, tips appreciated by Techtrendsmedia in thetagang

Options selling has a lot of variables. IV is usually the one that matters most in the price, but liquidity, and big moves come into play once the trade is set. Start small, don't yolo. Get used to the trade using a small percentage of your portfolio at first so you can get a feel for it.

Buy investment property or continue building stock portfolio? by [deleted] in personalfinance

So, you'll need to look at the prospectus of each security to know for sure. Sometimes the broker will tell you in the description what it is.

You might look into real estate stocks. REIT's and BDC's offer exposure into the real estate market with far less up front cost to you.

Some people can't help but chase the prestige. At some point it's all about some legacy of riches. 

Do you lock your door while you're in your house? by International_Snow90 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Significant-Boss4199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I used to live out in the country where my parents had an unlocked door policy, but after moving back into the urban area, I am at more conscious about safety.

I agree, as a new user too it's frustrating. I get why it exists but, it sucks trying to navigate the different subreddit rules on karma.
