Check out the collective2 and striker.  BTW- how do you like auto-trading with TS? All good until the system freezes for 500th time. I even have TS running on a server and its still slow as hell. I don't autotrade yet but have considered it.

I find /ES futures options to be more liquid. Especially after hours. 1.00 b/a which immediately becomes .50 once you place your order. But you can actually get filled mid-market. I’ve always been a commodity and futures guys so maybe I’m biased but I really prefer /ES  mini to any of the SP products. Same 1256 60/40 tax treatment as the bigs and never a “Daytrading rule”. 

TLT -LOD. /ES near highs.

How about WULF? Are these

How about WULF? Are these BTC miners ever going to catch up?  MARA, RIOT, WULF all still in the gutter.

BTC miners showing a hint

BTC miners showing a hint of life here... MARA, RIOT

ES futures and options trade 23 hr/days and are more liquid. 

Got it - saw that after I posted- thank you! Exited on the close. Looks like you’re using a shorter ma for the shorts (MA3/4?). I really prefer systematic trading. Defined entry/exit and backtest-able results 

Is the Googl short through

Is the Googl short through the volatility systems still short? Unofficially of course. 

Looks like the A’s were

TICK pivots levels on SPX cash

Looks like the A’s were right. 

what if.... they don't pause?

I'm obviously just a short who's venting.  

I primarily follow the mean-reversion systems.  Was a former on-floor options market maker so i'm used the getting positions rammed down my throat.  

But  in all seriousness, I've always found it difficult to trade when there is sub-system, multi-system conflict.  And believe it or not, it seems to happen a lot.  I thought we'd get a pullback to buy with the longer-term trend. Breakout system are  long but the volatility systems were getting short.  For me, that probably means buy straddles and gamma scalp rather than taking a directional bias.  Anyway ....

matt- can you post a

matt- can you post a volatility system update?

It's like Groundhog Day -

Posted by pep8261 on 12th of Jun 2023 at 12:39 pm

It's like Groundhog Day - no volatility, no action; just a slow, methodical grind higher.  Where's arun? That guy is right- stocks go up. Period.

Selling VIX calls with IV

Sold more VIX calls at .75

Posted by pep8261 on 7th of Jun 2023 at 10:51 am

Selling VIX calls with IV percentile at 1 and VIX and VVIX near their lower bollinger bands?  Hmm... Wouldn't say there's great risk/reward there.

Unless you change the settings for the indicator as well as in the strategy, it will display the BB default 20,2. (I’ve run into that situation before- LOL!)

the BB settings on  the  lower window study may not match the settings coded in the above strategy.
