Don't know if this would help, but have you tried getting Tradestation to give you multiple logins so you couls avoid having all your workspaces on one computer?

POTX etf is really skewed

POTX

Posted by ruscitti on 8th of Nov 2021 at 02:03 pm

POTX etf is really skewed toward the Canadian pot firms. Growth  in the sector will really come first from the US players and you want to be long MSOS instead. Can you kindly post a KISS chart on MSOS?

One thing you can consider is to sell a higher strike call against your long call position.  That helps a little with time decay, particularly over a long period. With a long call/ short higher strike call position, you can also consider periodically trading in and out of the sold call position to further enhance your performance.  I've done that with shorter term options (I have never traded LEAPs), but I can't think why this wouldn't work with LEAPs.  Bid/offer spread would probably be a consideration.  If LEAPs were less liquid, trading in and out would be more expensive.  The nice thing about this strategy is that you can employ it even in tax deferred accounts (401-k/IRAs).

Option skew is pretty crazy.. This morning, Oct 15 puts 15% out of the money cost twice as much as calls only 5% above current levels. A put 5% out of the money  (P430) was 8x the cost of a call 5% above (C475).

feels like distribution (to those diamond hand types)..lol

Matt, interestingly, a 31.8% fib

Matt, interestingly, a 31.8% fib retrace from March 2020 lows to the 40 K high basically takes you to the 50 day.

Coinbase Pro is the cheapest and most efficient method to buy crypto.  You purchase the actual underlying asset and you are not paying 30 to 200% above NAV like BITW or GBTC. They are a joke and people are going to get hurt badly when  those NAVs collapse.


interesting charts.. thanks for sharing


IWM has retraced about 61.8%

Posted by ruscitti on 5th of Jan 2021 at 02:57 pm

IWM has retraced about 61.8% from the selloff that began at the end of December.  Reloaded on some puts that I sold yesterday as a macro hedge against some longs.

matt, I know you already cover a lot of commodities, but consider adding REMX.  It's a way to get exposure to rare earth materials, and a way to play electric vehicles.  MP is also a play (a miner that recently de-SPAC'd).  Both have had nice runs, but worth considering on a pullback.

The funny thing is that this info is on the funds website.. they must be afraid of being sued lol.  You don't see NAV published on other crypto funds like GBTC (which I think trades around a 30% premium when you do the manual calculation).  I think one needs to consider just investing in the underlying directly through something like coinbase. Would be interested if anyone has any recommendations.

is the zoom access down or is it just me?

that would be very nice to have

makes perfect sense.. thanks
