#ChatGPT on #gormint and #taxes

Oh, how I love to pay my taxes
To the government that never relaxes
They take a chunk of my hard-earned money
And spend it on things that are not so funny

/1
Like wars and bailouts and subsidies
And salaries for their cronies and buddies
They say it's for the common good
But I wonder if they really understood

A well meaning follower at @GreeksPoint asked me this and I'm sure others will have the same question.

How much return on margin can I make using your #GammaScalping Webinar?

Great question and thanks for it. Here are some thoughts.

One of the primary goals when @alok_dharia and I started running Webinars at @Greekspoint was to educate and share our experiences with others.

But in addition we wanted to ensure that we present a quantifiable representation of our learnings.

The next two weeks will be about holding fort to attempt getting past the trading errors of this week.

Bad trades, bad decisions.

#trading #markets The thing with bad decisions in trading or any other endeavor is that it begets other bad decisions.

The first thing is to get back to the basics and put things straight.

Sharing some thoughts on beginners who start trading short options.

Previously shared this on a closed WhatsApp group of friends.

#optionstrading

(1/n) Short option structures like Straddles and strangles have a high win rate.

A 15 delta Short strangle will end up with typically higher than 85% of trader's as winners.

This is the biggest attraction for traders new to #optionstrading

As simply as this.

Using options over Futures doesn't allow you any additional edge in your directional Trade.

The Market doesn't pay for choice of traded instrument when the trader idea is Directional move of underlying.

(1/n) The only difference comes from government mandated costs for the different instruments.

If you haven't felt this, you haven't traded.

Just got hold of @markminervini's 2nd.

Great intro, Mark. Looking forward to getting into it. A number of times when I started #trading I would read about common trading errors but then land up making the exact same errors.

I still do. It is a difficult process.

Most of it clicks when you figure out that what you are really trading is risk not return.

You cannot just "will" good performance.

No substitute for deliberate practice.

👇 A great book I'd suggest for those looking to engage in enhancing their learning is Josh Waitzkin's "The Art of Learning"

Selling puts unnecessarily scares a lot of options traders.

If done correctly, selling cash secured or slightly levered puts is one of the most lucrative and simplest of options trading strategies.

A thread on Cash Secured Put selling.

(1/n) The value of puts is derived from what the marketplace assumes is downside risk of any underlying.

ATM puts make up their premium from in part the equity premium and partly the volatility premium.

Traders need to check their ledger not daily MTM PNL statements.

Selling of deep ITM options to hide and carry forward losses is a common practice amongst unscrupulous "sub-brokers" illegally managing others money in #OptionsTrading. There are no mandates from @SEBI_India on allowing "sub-brokers" or any party to trade and manage client funds in #OptionsTrading.

Certainly no mandate to take leverage of the sorts usually taken.

The God of #Options #Greeks is often disregarded and has no mercy, especially on #Options #expiration day.

A #Thread on #Gamma.

The primary feature of #Options is their non-linear payout.

Most traders understand that #OptionsPricing is dependent on the price of the underlying, but the response is non-linear. #Gamma is the variable that describes this non-linearity.

A lot of chatter on my TL about the #edge in #OptionsTrading, specifically #OptionSelling.
A lot of good information but some mis-information being spread as well.

A #thread. 2/n
First off, #OptionSelling by itself is NOT an edge.

Simply by selling an instrument that decays in value over time, doesn't give one an edge towards profit. It is accompanied by short gamma and rising #volatility working "against" you.
