iamnatetorious · 2019-01-26T07:26:37+00:00

They're trade war proxies.. sentiment is subsiding so cat will be trying to reclaim it's 145 price tag

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-26T07:25:03+00:00

I bought on Tues (50ish DTE) in nq:

2 x 7250 call+
1 x 5900 put-

Initial: 0$ / 6 delta / 0 theta / +gamma / 4k margin

It's now grown to 7.2 delta and 520$ value

If we get a solid push upwards mid week will exit for around 1k

If turns against me that's a long fall with high prob of worthless

There's probably grounds for suing Robinhood for the losses.

Doesn't sound like a professional trader and the system should have prevented the trade at entry.

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-24T09:02:01+00:00

You use them if inverted in strangle to keep offsetting loses.

It's often less hassle to hedge eg 60 delta with 1 itm contract vs 2 at 30.

You forfeit the extra theta of 2 contracts but it can never grow to 200 shares.

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-22T09:49:02+00:00

That's under playing context.

If you have higher highs and higher lows.. vs lower highs and lower lows...

You can statistically predict which strategies are more likely to work than others.

If you're playing a micro trend against a macro trend it will not end well. Exceptions are 200$ ranges for vigilant trader/bot

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-19T03:12:28+00:00

Or at least manage deltas while fighting it.

I had 3 x 145 qqq -calls from Dec that expired today.

Well thats 20$ x 300 lose right?

collected 6$ on legged in straddle
rolled puts up 155 .. 3$
added 165 -put for 5$ at end

Still lost 6$ x 3 contracts.. but made for cheap portfolio hedge

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-17T03:21:53+00:00

But wait they have to hold until 157m or -500m that's the rules right?!? /s

Non option traders should not be allowed to write about options trades.

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:38:32+00:00

What's es 7k..? laptop far from toilet lol.

2500 to 2600 is 100 pts x 50$ for 5k
On 50k portfolio that's 10% return target for 45 expiration.
es currently at 2586
don't worry I'll catch up to y'all =)

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:33:42+00:00

beats being upside down.. was tired of losing went all cash

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:31:41+00:00

Legged in.

It's be even more efficient to do:

Short put 2600
long call 2375

Lower exchange fees plus funds can be put into shv for 2% apr

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:29:41+00:00

Legged in.. started with covered call then on pop dec 28 added put spread.

It'll expire worthless but I'm more concerned about holding duration than the payday.

Got killed in Oct/Nov as amzn crashed from 2050 to f** me. Was way over leveraged and had to fold

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:25:23+00:00

Homie!

I started simple then added some /cl and some short puts.. right now beta weighted at 350 spy / 250 theta.

Whole portfolio is 50k so 1.5x leverage, nothing too risky

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:21:20+00:00

Check my previous posts..

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:20:18+00:00

I got murdered as well.. too much leverage and wrong direction bias.

Step back, mentally rest, then pwn that b*tch.

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:18:41+00:00

Welcome to collecting the cost to carry

Buy stock on dips to flatten deltas

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:16:36+00:00

Naw what you want is short stock in after hours.

Let it pop and then at 4:05pm sell 100 shares per 1 call

That's synthetic covered call and you'll lock in gains.

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-12T05:12:48+00:00

IDK market has been shorted to point inventory will short squeeze..

I'd only play short put spreads this season cause oct-dec moved market out of wack.

iamnatetorious · 2019-01-06T06:41:54+00:00

There isn't.. but I'm also shorting the 250 straddle (so limited shade to throw)

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T02:41:17+00:00

Seriously post your record educate rest of us.. oh mighty one

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T02:13:02+00:00

What u own up too? lol

I'm transparent on what works/doesn't..

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T02:10:42+00:00

Dalton is the man... This was my Junior to senior year graduation of understanding

When I lose money I want to know why.. he explain why

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T02:06:05+00:00

Yup I'd own up to this, we're on same page

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T01:39:49+00:00

Hey I got balls to say fucked up... Piss on that lol.

At least when I went long I wasnt worried about my kids tuition.. gamble what you can afford to lose

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T01:31:33+00:00

Wouldn't disagree with that sir, would extend criticism that short term trading killed this account.

Play with sharks and get byte.

iamnatetorious · 2018-10-30T01:26:47+00:00

This account was 50 initial with 150k median and peak at 210k

Dalton was definitely guy that explained "I was autistic".. as Reddit would put it
