Trading Thesis - Why These Crayons Taste Better ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‹

Suit up, traders! Letโ€™s talk about the legen - wait for it - dary strategy thatโ€™s gonna make you richer than a chocolate cake! ๐ŸŽฉ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿฐ

Hereโ€™s the deal: weโ€™re using fancy math (option open interest) to find the sweet spot where portfolio-level greeks (Delta and Gamma) work their magic. ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Sometimes, tickers go wild at delta neutral, gamma max, or even both! ๐ŸŽข๐Ÿš€ Weโ€™re using these price level parties from the past to drive our trading signals. ๐ŸŽ‰

Our plays and target entry prices are calculated with a binomial option pricing model thatโ€™s cooler than a polar bearโ€™s toenails. ๐Ÿพโ„๏ธ The best plays make money from the directional move and the increase in IV. ๐ŸŒŸ

Notes - Wrinkling Your Brain ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”ฎ

If the price has moved past the entry price, hold your horses! ๐Ÿดโš ๏ธ Something changed, so be careful. Sell half your position on a double and freeroll the rest. ๐ŸŽฒ๐Ÿ’ธ

I risk up to 1% of my capital on trades, but if Iโ€™m feeling less confident, Iโ€™ll go for 0.5% or even 0.25%. ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Keep in mind that these trades are based on info up to yesterday. New price movement might make our thesis so yesterday. ๐Ÿ“†๐Ÿ”„
