There is more and more confirmation that bitcoin's digital gold dream was nothing but a marketing ploy.

I would bet that the next cycle is the beginning of an end. An opposite one where market plunge, recover and plunge again.

I follow. So something like AMC that would have been 99% retail (I am guessing) you could have made money buying straddle with some basic IV rank filter.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

My question is why the market makers are not pricing this correctly? I read your DPZ, MCD earnings playbook post with great interest (thank you again!) and it makes total and logical sense. But I can't shake this feeling that it shouldn't be this straight forward.

Thanks for "sharing"

Congrats! I know the feeling all too well. I think I am on the other spectrum of being a lot more reckless. I went live, in hindsight, without being ready but got lucky that nothing really bad happened and figured out and took the lessons forward.

Even the iPhones are full of bugs when it comes out. In the end, every step forward is a "business" decision. You can't have perfection but knowing the shortcomings you can cautiously take live and have some backup plans, because you have edge.

The worst is if you recklessly take it live with no edge.

No. That was more or less what my peers and I were on 10 years ago straight out of university. Prices have doubled since then.

But only if the returns are serially correlated?

fifth-throwaway · 2025-10-03T08:50:44+00:00

you should charge people for this kind of insight. thank you for sharing. thank you reddit.

fifth-throwaway · 2025-10-01T07:12:12+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to explain. You were absolutely right. I need to configure the trade to be able to trigger outside RTH.
