Trading Thesis - Why These Crayons Taste Yummier 🌈🦄

Yo puddin’, technically speaking, squiggly lines and fancy-schmancy indicators love to use yesterday’s prices to guess where we’ll be partyin’ today. 🎉📈

Using some big words, like “option open interest”, we get all cool with Greeks—Delta and Gamma, not the dudes in togas. 😜 We can then play around with what these numbers do at different price points to see some surprising twists and turns. 💃🕺

For some ticker fiends, prices react all huffy-puffy to delta neutrality, gamma max-outs, or both! It’s basically a Harley Quinn-level rollercoaster ride, hun! 🎢🃏

These past reactions are what we use to come up with super-duper predictions. Trading signals are like clues to the ultimate prize, hun! 🏆💰

Our plays and target entry prices are calculated with fancy math stuff, like binomials, to give us juicy reactions from gamma max and delta neutral. Yum! 😋 We want our best plays to benefit from moves in price and increases in fancy volatility stuff. 🎯📊

Notes - Wrinkle that noggin’ 🤔💭

  • Missed our target entry price? Be cautious, puddin’! Something changed between planning the party and arriving at the bash. 🥳🚨
  • Scored a double? Sell half and play with the rest as you please! 🎲✌️
  • Wanna bet big? Risk up to 1% of your treasure chest. Not feelin’ it? Go for 0.25% to 0.5% and spread out your cash. 💵💰
  • Keep in mind, these trades were calculated before the market opened, and are based on yesterday’s gossip. Keep an eye out for new shenanigans today.🕵️‍♀️📰

FAQ - In case you ain’t payin’ attention 💡❓

  • These plays are mostly puts. Are you a baddie bear? 🐻💔
    • Nah, cupcake. It just so happens companies had a wild run, and now they might need a lil’ break. Our trades are like mean-reversion hugs! 🤗
  • You takin’ all these plays? 🎲💸
    • Nope, but I thought I’d share my chaotic bag o’ tricks with my fellow apes to help y’all score some sweet gainz. 🦍💥
  • New play on an old fave? Whatcha talkin’ ‘bout? 🔄🗣️
    • Simple, the new play kicks out the old one. The oldie’s probably no good, so don’t go chasin’ after lost balloons. 🎈
  • Where’s the crayon art? 🖍️🎨
    • Follow the shiny links above, sweetums. 🌟🔗
  • Did you back-test this? 🤖📚
    • Sure did! Got a respectable Sharpe Ratio (1.76) and a party-hard win rate of 63% (7% margin of error). 🎊📈
  • How’d it go back in time? 🔙🕰️
    • History gave us a Sharpe Ratio of 1.85 and a win rate of 68%. That means we’re pretty darn sure we’ll keep winning 63-75% of the time. (Stats as of 2023-03-31) 🏅🔥
