Trading Thesis - Feast Your Eyes on the Tastiest Crayons ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Just like Vanellopeโ€™s candy-coated racecar dashes across Sugar Rush, technical analysis zooms through past prices to predict the sweet spots of today. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

My top-secret recipe for predicting winning plays involves blending option open interest with a sprinkle of Delta and Gamma greeks. Presto! We get tantalizing price levels where volatility is juiciest and the market hovers near equilibrium. Talk about a sugar rush! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Sometimes, the underlying price dances around like a sugarplum fairy, reacting to delta neutrality or maximum gamma. My magical trading signals spring from the past reactions to these prices that put you in the fast lane to success. ๐Ÿ

To make your wallet sweeter, I whip up plays and target entry prices using a binomial option pricing model. Itโ€™s like a candy-factory conveyor belt, spewing out profit, direction and increased IV! ๐Ÿญ

Notes - The Perfect Recipe for Trading Brain Gains ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ก

  • If the price has zipped past the entry, beware! It means the market gobbled up the goodies before you took a bite.
  • Grab half your winnings when you double, and ride the sugar-high of the rest at your leisure. ๐Ÿฌ
  • Iโ€™m the careful candy-maker, only risking 1% of my fortune on trades, and going even lighter when Iโ€™m less sure of success. ๐Ÿซ
  • These scrumptious trades are based on yesterdayโ€™s intel, so chew on that when jumping in late. Donโ€™t let fresh price moves spoil the confectionery goodness. ๐Ÿช

    • Nuh-uh! Iโ€™m sharing a candy box of opportunities so everyone can indulge in gainz glory. Pick your favorites from this smorgasbord, and see which ones turn you into a cash-making-machine! ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿก
  • What if thereโ€™s a new play for the same ticker? ๐Ÿคทโ™‚๏ธ
    • Then learn from Sugar Rush - embrace the new and ditch the old! Donโ€™t chase past glories, stay fresh and savor the now. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ
