@JP_Money_95630 Question 2; so the simple math is; the direction mostly toward to the highest open interest? Like MSFT at 450 today. 470 has 10K OI. 420 has 5K OI. So MMs tend to move MSFT toward 470 as their delta neutrality is more severe there so they chase that direction instead?
I am still very confused of why MMs chase the puts or calls.
The origin of calls are “if market goes from 700 to 750 - I ll buy from you for 700$” and for puts if market dumps from 700 to 650 you ll buy it from me of 700
If they sell puts at 700; they must push market higher so they make money of this. And if sold calls they must pin the price lower. True hedging must be opposite. Why the heaven they short market to let their put to make their put delta + gamma gain more value so they loose more money
Same for calls. Why they chase the calls they sold?
Why they chase and try to push market to 750 or to 650 if that price is where they ll loose more due to higher delta and gamma.
I am really feel dump of this options logic. GPT says it is not about options that they make money. It is that they make money or bid ask spreads.
Still can not convince myself as if they are naive not to pin the price
Appreciate your insights
Fact. May I know what is your strategy to catch next flying bird? I am newbie.
1- Support and resistance? It is for scalpers these days.
2- FVG? yes for up trend.
3- Option Flow? Very misleading unless very convincing.
4- Gex Maps? Another form of Option Flow + Supp. Ress.
What are your suggestions?
@thetechlao Do you use RSI 14 - 9 or 7
I have witnessed since testing your method; big boys mess up RSI metric with big push sometimes.
And sometimes RSI does not show up accurate. Lag behind or does not meet criteria
Happy to hear more pro insights of yours
@thetechlao The more I learn; the more I check your daily updates; I say to myself "he is on the right path to financial freedom" Good job brother. My 3 kids also praise your success!
@thetechlao Couple of more questions. Looks lik you are an experienced trader overcome some challenges and built this confidence.
I am still learning this game. Trying everything.
Do you ever use gex maps for direction? They are tricky but signals the direction clearly sometimes
@thetechlao Wondering why not ITM? Or ATM?
2 strike ITM has better Delta and Theta. And yet 2 strike ITM has same gamma as OTM.
Like your way. Want that discipline and believe in that compound eventually will hit 6-7 figures.
Wondering. Why not you trade momentum as it gives larger %$
@thetechlao What is your trade limit daily? Like your discipline. I am 9 months in options. 3 months in spy 0dte. When I add my stop at reversal plays; I got hit most of the time even I try to wait for liquidity sweep. So at the end; several stop loss drawdown me to the deep dark.
@10khourstrading @thetechlao @FibChartsPro IBKR has it. Called “conditional order”. Like you mark your highs lows on the underlying. Then tell IBKR “buy/sell - call/put if underlying goes to this amount” you can even do it like “trade spy options but with spx or es price action as an underlying” Ask Gpt. It ll guide you.
How long your have been in the market? You look like you ve taken dozens harsh paths and then ended up with this niche. I am here someone lost life saving in the last 7 months in the options and found your KISS strategy. I am in SPY for over 3 months. Still not achieved discipline like you
