Спекуляция Деривативами - Trade Ideas !!!

roll to Dec16 2225-2250 -6.32

Why do you trade SPX? The markets out their are so wide. Did you consider SPY, which is pretty much same thing, but smaller in size? SPY has way better liquidity than SPX.

I don't have any S&P positions now. All action in Russell now. Have 120, 122, 130, 131 and 132 naked calls in IWM I treat it as insurance from expanding volatility. I think this is the best trade for December.

Теперь SPX expirations чаще чем раз в неделю, но не все брокеры показывают промежуточные quotes.

Сегодня всё как по нотам. Рассел - даун, золото - ап, евро и ена - ап ....... solid day. Third best day this year.

APPL (-$268.00)

i would love to read what happen? you didn't use you technique right?

Простo забыл про AAPL. На етом счету я практически AAPL не трейдал. Так что результат закономерный.

TLT, GLD & FXJ positions grew way too big. Used up almost 80% of my buying power on these stocks. Keep buying this crap on every down tick. One more down day in these understandings will hurt.

But greed is not allowing to stop buying them.

Sosnoff опять открывает брокерскую кантору - Tastyworks. Только что пришёл емейл. Интересно, сколько он будет комисионных брать за контракт?

по моему, более важно, по крайней мере для меня, насколько эффективно будут исполняться заказы. Поскольку это новая контора, то у многих будут сомнения в переводе своих счетов туда, даже при симпатичной платформе.

I signed up for Tastywors just to see how their platform would look like. Their current platform - Dough - a total piece of crap and it is untradeable.
If their platform is better than TOS, I'll give it a shot. I also hope they remove all charting options from their new platform. this feature is completely useless and significantly slowdowns the soft.

ну что господа спикулянты, калитесь кто сколько капусты срубил на этом замечательном lift-off ??
я в минусе.

Сегодня в минусе, завтра в плюсе

No-brainers: Short Russell/DOW, long Yen, and long gold. After Mexico play, I consider it as the second best trade of the year. Free money

I guess short SP500 would be a similar play, no?

I guess. I just have no SPY positions at this moment.

I although think that IWM and DIA is at higher price extreme.

Хорошая статья.

The least volatile investment one could have made in 2007 was in Bernie Madoff’s fund, and we know how that ended – just like the turkey. But there are many funds and strategies that are not frauds but still mask their risk in low volatility. As Schwager mentions, strategies that are explicitly or implicitly short volatility do just that.
Many option traders are drawn into option selling strategies for just this reason. They produce steady, solid returns most of the time. The P/L is a nice upward sloping track. I know of one options newsletter/auto-trade service that provides amazing steady returns – and then blows up about every four years. That may be ok for hedge funds you don’t own. But that doesn’t work for individual investors or traders… or turkeys.

I honestly don’t have a problem with short volatility strategies, and I use some myself. But don’t be fooled by low volatility, especially when looking at returns that don’t include big downturns in the respective markets (supposedly Long Term Capital Management didn’t include 1987 in the risk models on their strategies when they blew up about 10 years later). Using protection and limited risk selling strategies is the appropriate way to approach such strategies, even if the returns aren’t quite so impressive. Don’t be fooled into thinking that low volatility is low risk. Don’t be a turkey
