I ended up using @potion_so to point my MoontowerMeta subdomain to my public Notion pages.
If anyone is looking to get a website up quickly and is already using Notion, just point your Notion to a custom domain and the URLs can be pretty while Notion is your CMS.
If you check out @potion_so site you can see examples of nice sites built in Notion (and I'll tag @NotionHQ in case they want to share their fave public sites built on it)
Anyway, I'm old and use Excel still so that means anyone can add some Notion formatting and publish their notes onto a legit looking website in no time.
One less bottleneck, one less excuse.
Stop procastinating bc you need the right "template".
Do the thing already

A bit about me. I traded options on the floor for 12 years (8 at SIG, 4 with a backer). Mostly commodity futures and ETFs. Equities and indices very early in career.
Spent next 9 years a PM at a vol fund. Left trading in March.
I share stuff (non-alpha...more meta or basics that are less appreciated)
I'll put some resources in this thread for those that want to learn further:
My writing is hosted on my wordpress site MoontowerMeta. Blogs are chronological which is a crap format for this content so all my writing is indexed here.
The reason it's a widowmaker is because the spread can get unruly.
The March future, henceforth known by its future code (H), represents the price of gas by the end of winter when supply has been withdrawn from storage.
This is pretty much how I looked at all price changes. If the absolute value of any of the numbers was greater than 1 than the asset moved more than 1 implied standard deviation.
The vig is so tiny that they are playing blackjack for almost free. So the variance will swap the neg edge, encouraging winners to delude themselves that they are good at investing.
And from POV of giving the people what they want, it's working. Cheap casino.
Is this complex "blackjack" a good use of time? Probably as good a use a time as video games I guess.
If the entertainment we know as "markets" gets teaches you skills that's like getting comped by the casino host so much that you might come out ahead.
There's so much that can be explained about what a mm thinks about and what tools they use when they handle a show. After so many reps the mental checklist and "feel" of the call is automatic but dissected it's prolly interesting to the corners of fintwit.
A really simple example would be someone soliciting a quote for a risk reversal. Take a symbol like URBN.
You are thinking about the class of customer the broker represents, where you are in the brokers pecking order.
Then you think about the stock itself.
What's the liquidity in the shares? What term do they want to trade? Are they looking to collar stock or disguising a skew trade? Well is it delta neutral or live?
How's the borrow? Confident in div dates? Are the screens stale or a good indicator of the fair vols for the name?
