From your posts, it looks like you've never worked a "real job", which is very admirable and kudos to you for that. If you're making 6 figure...
My post was a subtle/humorous inference of the pointlessness of the original post. This thread had already deteriorated by the time OP pressed...
I clipped my toe nails after having a shower today.
Firstly, spare me the condescending tone. Secondly, when buying a cal, sure there is gamma risk, but the theta and vega are working in the...
The saddest part of all this is the whenever a (newbie) starts a thread on calendars, it gets highjacked by delusional fantasists like @TheDawn,...
Then you have theta and vega working against you, and the only way to profit is via gamma. PS - the only way the back iv will be higher than the...
@TheDawn, these two posters (and others on this thread) are trying to show you the way, but you are not listening. And no, you haven't hit any...
Speak for yourself. There are many traders here who have been making a living by trading options for years. In fact, your posts on this thread...

He does the same thing on the options threads - admits he knows nothing about options, and yet feels an uncontrollable need to write something....
You may be the greatest teacher and trader here, but just the fact that you don't have the basic decency of using capital letters in numerous...
It must be your hardware, connection, antivirus, vpn etc that is causing this problem. It works just fine for me, and always has done. Been using...
Don't know about your 2nd cousin, but im thinking of the number 69. Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something.
Yes, that is a strategy - buying just before a days close for options expiring the next day. I've never done that myself, but @Matt_ORATS is it...
Thanks Matt. With respect, I would be sceptical of the results where a short straddle is sold 14 minutes before market close, expiring the next...
So you are doing the very thing that you are arguing against here. Riiiiiight. That makes sense. Seriously, the amount of self-contradicting...
So do you hold every single option trade you open, until expiry time? Surely, you don't close any trades early, even if they hit your profit...
