The truth is most "Options Rooms" don't teach real options trading. Here is what your junk pump & dump contracts look like (on any stock) Delta <0.2 Gamma <0.1 Cheap Premiums Often, strikes are chosen w/too low IV for day trading, particularly in individual stocks vs etfs This is why your premium isn't increasing even though the underlying moves up more (can also occur because of IV crush, but you need elevated IV to start for this to occur) Look at the daily volume on that contract. How does the average compare to trade day? Look at the OI compared to other strikes When directionally trading short exp options, is OI stacked at one strike? Or is it stacked on multiple? Can you see momentum in the chain to correlate to your furus price predictions? Short-term options trades aren't only about the "levels" on the stock chart.

Trading during Venus or Mercury Rx is tricky & there’s often whiplash. Both are still retrograde for a few more days. Be extra cautious, ready for sudden shifts, and if comfortable trading multi-leg options there’s potential for strategies like strangles

As I was getting off the highway he fell from the sky onto my windshield! I didn’t know how to get him off of it 😂 I was driving through an intersection, didn’t want him going through all that just to fall to his demise now!

He must have escaped a bird and somehow managed to survive the fall onto my car. I told him to hang on(??) and pulled over. But he did not want to leave. Wiper fluid just made him jump to my door and give me that look 😂 Eventually he climbed down and into a whole new life 🤷‍♀️

First day of school went well. They wouldn’t let my oldest start due to misfiling of paperwork And they lost my 6 year old for a bit. But other than that it was swell!

I’ve gotten a lot of messages asking for updates on the case I was covering before its dismissal and sending me info on it. As always, I don’t want to speculate and my interest is and always will be the impacts on the trading communities. Here are the important updates

The full opinion from the Fifth Circuit court is available online. Again, this wasn’t about the charges themselves. Lastly, a reminder why this case is actually important is for the precedent it may set overall in the end.

For reasons having nothing to do with the case parties, I’d prefer to never have discuss anything related to the original server again. I’ll post only key updates to keep my word from the beginning. Then nothing more. There are accounts you can follow for more individual updates.

Full moon this weekend so every amateur astrologer on the planet will post about “releasing what no longer serves you” And “manifesting abundance” While you come into “alignment with your highest self” Lmfao 😂 😂😂

Watch out for when someone isn’t using “I” or specifics “Haven’t talked to anyone” “I haven’t talked to her” One takes ownership, one creates distance
