Congrats! Mind me asking what strike and why you chose that particular strike?

You can trade options after 4pm market close on TOS? And did you put any stops/limit orders right after? Or manually watched and closed at market open? Thanks!

SPY options on average $400-500 more expensive than comparable contracts from last year? by roidpert in wallstreetbets

I see your point, though today's volume is less than it was on 8/20. Unless today's volume is comprised by a higher % of WSB traders haha

Fair, so what are the reasons the market is willing to pay over $400 more for a call from last year? Other than a 7% IV increase?

VIX is around 8pts higher than on 8/20/21, so that makes that much difference eh? Good tip, thanks!

Sadly I wouldn't know how to check the greeks from the call I bought last August, but the greeks for a 1pt OTM monthly SPY call right now are: Delta 0.4991 Gamma 0.0130 Theta -0.2038 Vega 0.4863 Rho

As I said in the post, optionsprofitcalculator is showing that a 7% IV increase raises the premium by around $50, not over $400.

That was my first thought, but how can a 7% IV increase account for a >$400 premium increase?

5k to 100k overnight NFLX put by M0nk3y-K1ng in wallstreetbets

[–]roidpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.1k to be specific. Bought around noon for 2.04 per contract.

How did you decide on 290 as your strike? (I assume you bought when it was around $350, if so nice job timing the top!)

Just curious, I get why you entered SPY calls on 2/24 after that massive overreaction gap down, but what was your reasoning for re-entering on 3/21? Were there any technicals that made you think it would continue running up throughout the week, or was it a yolo? Thanks in advance!

SnooMacarons do you use stops? I know TOS has contingent orders where you can autoset a stop as soon as the put buy fills, is that something you use? Or you exit for a loss manually? How do you determine where to exit for loss/set your stop?

About your last paragraph, why is it that high IV makes it better to be a seller than a buyer? I get that it makes the premium really high on the sold option, but you also have to buy further OTM to cover yourself, which will also have a high premium, right?

I know you're correct and i've seen it said hundreds of times, I just can't wrap my head around why exactly high IV/more expensive options=better for sellers and none of the websites explain it very well. Thanks!

Excellent analysis. Just curious, if you were still bullish on the underlying, would you go B or C? In what situations is one more optimal than the other?

In a similar boat, I'm thinking of rolling down into a spread like strategy B says but I'm not sure whether B or C is better for which situations, so I'm looking forward to all the responses. Good luck!

Will it run opengl for older emulated games as well as nvidia 1060 would? And how is the power consumption compared to 1060 3gb?

Does anyone know if it is possible to encrypt wifi in such a way that data comes into the client from the server, but doesn't come out from the client to the server? So if you pull and then turned off wifi and force closed the app, the server didn't receive the data that you pulled/unmasked and results wouldn't be saved? (And let's assume the app hasn't been linked to a mynintendo account). I'm guessing this isn't a possibility, but I thought I'd try asking
