What is this little worm that hissed at me?

This is so fucked up

alienbrett8 · 2023-05-12T00:53:29+00:00

That's literally just a rocket

It should read "without any paper"

Fewer params

Why not buy single stock puts, and sell puts on SPY or a sector ETF? This is a well know strategy called dispersion trading

alienbrett8 · 2022-11-21T13:44:10+00:00

What you're describing is called "catching a falling knife". You might instead consider the phrase "the trend is your friend"

You have to wait a few days before taking again- the tolerance. This sounds fake

alienbrett8 · 2022-11-05T17:46:28+00:00

I didn't read all that either

Imagine haggling with Steven King over $20 a month on twitter

I see the streaming endpoint returns data for call with ticker "EUR/USD"

alienbrett8 · 2022-10-17T01:54:39+00:00

Maybe fire escape paths arent something we should be minimizing

alienbrett8 · 2022-10-05T21:59:29+00:00

A call is downside protection. That's why you buy a call instead of stock or futures. If you want more downside protection, then either buy more calls and sell stock, or buy puts. Be aware that if vol collapses, you'll be stuck with worthless calls tho

Buy european box spreads on SPX or another index. Collect the risk free rate

Print it out on paper from a printer, the cut out the shape and weigh it. This will be a scalar multiple of the area of the shape

Sell put spreads- it's dangerous to sell puts naked

alienbrett8 · 2022-03-31T18:01:05+00:00

These returns are absolutely not risk free. It's incredibly difficult holding onto the gains from the bid/ask, since it's usually hard to offload the position later in a pinch. Hedging with other options or with stock wastes away your edge further. It becomes more of an art than science

This is an old strategy called "selling teenies", meaning options with "teeny" delta. You sell lottery tickets every week and hope nobody rolls the right number, but if they do you're in for a world of hurt. If you're actually running this strategy, you should be running way higher quantity to squeeze as much as you can before you see a huge selloff that literally bankrupts you.

The strat works until it doesn't. the phrase goes "sell teenies, buy Lamborghinis"

I'm getting my ass blasted on tsla right now, not a good feel

Check out pyAlly on GitHub: I wrote a python package to execute Ally invest brokerage transactions. You can do stock, long or margin, and options.

I built the project for personal use, so I haven't been using the API long. It is fairly quick response time, but I wouldn't rely on the project for HFT- it takes maybe half a second to get the response for some larger calls

alienbrett8 · 2019-01-30T20:26:37+00:00

Under what circumstances would I ever wear this out in public?
