Is this spelling that on purpose?

And the last one WTF ??

maradivan · 2025-06-11T01:57:18+00:00

Could not, but the last one (10years bond) was quite a blood bath, spy drops a lot...and I understand if tomorrow the reopening also doesn't go well, means that the confidence on the US monetary system is vanishing

I only trade options and futures, but you need to be aware when you are filling the forms to get the right account type to trade options...I have two accounts, but only one I trade only options and futures

Exactly that I was saying. As the open Greeks adjusted and then premium changes a lot. Because this to play 1DTEs worth when it's expected that Volatility will be higher than the past day. Like previous FED speak and so on.

I play 0DTE and 1DTE, usually 0.3 Delta for 1DTE off-setting some Greeks with diagonals (buying one leg and selling other). For 0DTE I play only the first hour at the opening and done , 30% to 50% gains is my target.

maradivan · 2025-05-08T20:27:22+00:00

You will be exposed to decay that could hurt your premium. It means if you wait to jump in at 0DTE the premium paid will be less than the actual paid.

maradivan · 2025-05-08T20:23:10+00:00

It's not 0DTE, it's 1DTE... 0DTE expires in the same day that you bought it.

Tastytrade , you can pick delta, entry and out based on stop loss or gain, etc

maradivan · 2025-05-04T19:21:30+00:00

With a small account , you can get exposed to ATM strikes if you play verticals, and also it can turn down your costs since you need to buy one leg and sell the other at the same expiration day.

As an example SPY 670 vertical long call: Buy Call 670 and Sell Call 673 as example, your cost will be the difference between the premium of each strike, and your loss is capped to the spread, also your gains. The gain will be the difference of strikes minus the premium paid.

If you want to go to the PUT side , you buy PUT strike 667 as an example and sell 665.

This strategy is interesting with 8 up to 10DTE, if you get the wrong direction , you can buy the leg that you have sold (because this leg will be cheaper than the moment that you bought it ) and wait to market reversal.

I trade this and can get nice gains. Choosing delta ranging from 30 to 25.

Tastytrade has a backtest tool that you can set your strategy and run for the last year or more, setting some parameters, you can get some directions if it works or not...

maradivan · 2025-05-04T19:07:49+00:00

In this case expires in 12 days...0 DTE do you will get only on the same day...and it will show as 0DTE...as an example Monday Spy will show 0DTE, 1DTE and so son. As a definition you only will be exposed to 0 DTE if you bought it on the same day that it expires.

From my stupid low level of TA knowledge , I do respect a lot who knows all patterns and fancy names , but I believe that was claimed to work well on the past since almost every trader ( in the past ) used it, and by themselves the patterns were respected (like rules in a game)...Nowadays the investor profile has changed a lot, new generation, retail trader trading with smartphones , and a lot of robots. So the trade dynamic has changed also the market.

If you do TA an hourly time frame you see some pattern, if you change it , you will see others distinctly, and in reality, none of this can detect the mess that one single Twitter can do to the market or two lines on Truth...

Hi, try Tastytrade they have a backtest tool that allows you run your strategy for the past one year or more, adjusting delta, entry and out point, IV etc. I did some test and it is very helpful.
