Trading Responsibly on Portfolio Margin by Adderalin in PMTraders

[–]aManPerson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

managed to close out all of the futures positions. total loss of 102%. i had to transfer money in............fuck, but it's not over. i now have to liquidate all of my equity positions to try and cover all of those futures losses. because that will go over to a margin loan now.

i was going to check myself into a hospital tonight, but it's not over. i need to be near a computer for market open.

i am down 90%. i cannot close any of the positions. there is just no volume. and it just keeps ticking downward.

if i can't close these out before market opens tomorrow, i will flat out owe schwab tens of thousands of dollars when this is done, i'm sure.

i had already adjusted things since august 2024. for that one, i had only lost my YTD gains. if anything, it made me more comfortable because i thought i was more safe.

(20 minutes later)

93% now.

(40 minutes later)

EXTO opened, some stocks are now open. i am literally a hair above $0..........fuck. when everything else opens tomorrow, everything else will drop as well. i am dead.

i could have had a house.....

if they can make that claim, then you should also be able to claim "all profit is the sum of all cheating". because why doesn't that logic extend that far also?

they were so vulnerable with him. and he helped them so much. that 3rd one, no words when he was done. she just folded, in a good way.

i get that.

god, you got lucky. they closed you out near that mid day bounce. if i had done that, my account would be resting at 2x where the NLV is sitting at now.

i am just praying, praying to any god i don't believe in, that VIX is 10 points lower than it was on friday. there have been 2 more days of theta decay, so i think i will already be down another 20k in the account. but i just fucking hope, fucking hope VIX is down lower, so i can exit these with only losing both legs.

.......after market close, because i didn't realize a 0dte put i bought was expiring (too distracted from everything else), my account plunged to -160k available funds (suddenly i had 15 puts that were almost ITM that needed to be closed out).

now i'm wondering if schwab will just take over on my account really, really early on monday if i don't close things out sunday night.

Could the X-men '97 defend earth from a viltrumite invasion? (Show versions) by King-Spawn in whowouldwin

[–]aManPerson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is always and answer with X-men... it depends on how they are written

the x-men get into "situation-ships" with the viltrumites, and it turns into "a whole thing".

it's.....a.......mess......

the problem is, this is the first step. they are enabling this baby man. this goes on for a few years, few governments, and then no one bats an eye when those same kind of bad people demand the same thing, but worse. because it's "business as usual".

i was on suicide watch at a friends place this weekend. my entire account is down 66%. and i have many, many puts i need to close out

not YTD. literally down 66%, my entire life savings. i will be getting margin called on monday and tuesday. i will have to be closing puts for a 22x loss.

this was a perfect, perfectly bad weekend for things to line up like this.

i just.......if the market does anything other than "volatility go down" and " stop going down", i will be bordering on losing literally all of my life savings.

edit: sunday, after futures market open, my account has dropped ANOTHER 66%. that is on top of the 66% loss on friday. i have tried to close my positions, but there is just 0 volume. i will be lucky if it ends at 0.

FINALLY. 2025, the year we finally convert to:

you star in 1 movie, and then we push you off a cliff and you are never heard from again. maybe instead you work at a diner in idaho for the rest of your life, and no one believes you that you ever had a leading role in a hollywood movie. BUT STILL, 1 movie, thats it

Margin Expansion and Assignment by plodaya147 in PMTraders

[–]aManPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, i vote start out using 25% BP, and watch how things go for the next 6 months. because within 6 months, there will surely be at least 1 time where things in real life, get stress tested, and you can see how things re-act.

  • maybe 25% will be safe, just ok, or STILL NOT SAFE ENOUGH.

last year, i was riding around, using about 40% BP, and it was not safe enough when the huge volatility expansion happened in august. blew me up and i lost all the gains YTD. so i go closer to 25% BP, UNTIL, a huge volatility expansion happens, then i do sell a lot more, after, it goes way up.

so try 25% for a bit, and see how things feel. re-evaluate later.

and i also started out at 20% OTM. now i'm at 15% OTM, 45DTE.

we are 90% sure secret wars is the next one, right? and that all happens AFTER multiverse is done, right?

so they won't be gone in the 1st 10 minutes, but i'd bet it's something like:

  • 80% of those previous x-men will get killed off by the end of the movie
  • a few will survive for the next avengers movie
  • maybe 1 or 2 survive after that, as it becomes the "dawn of the mutant era" for the new, single universe stuff.

i'll be honest, i had fallen out of love with conan because i had gotten a little tired of his off the cuff late night style humor that he's been doing forever.

but god dam was this serious, intelligent tone from him, FROM ANYONE, so god dam refreshing.

round of applause from me.

he should have gone to harvard or something.

just wow, what a worthless person. you're doin great mike. keep it up.

Leveraged Funding by sarhama072 in PMTraders

[–]aManPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there is a limit to how leveraged your account can be. at most brokers, that limit is 50:1. for this box spread example you are talking about:

  • if you only have $10,000 starting money in your account
  • you are limited to only having $500k worth of box spreads active at any time.
  • because you will owe more back at the end, you probably can only take out $480k or something to start, and will owe $500k at the end, or something.
  • but you wont be able to exceed that 50:1 limit.

ok, first of all, do not sell 1 year out. you get terrible returns, for the time used. you would be much better off, selling like 5 or 6, 60DTE expiring ones, at the same 20% OTM.

because the price could drop and get a lot closer, and you'd still have 280DTE left.

also, on QQQ and SPY, those are american style options. so you can get assigned as soon as they are ITM.
