Trading Thesis - The Tastiest Crayons for Your Money ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‹

Forget boring technical analysisโ€”weโ€™re here to predict todayโ€™s most important prices using the flavors of crayons from the past! ๐Ÿคช

This tasty thesis is based on some delish option open interest that calculates portfolio-level greeks like Delta and Gamma. ๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽ‰ Once we establish these scrumptious numbers, weโ€™ll find out the juiciest price levels where gamma is just so good, and delta is dancing near 0. ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ธ

Some tickers have a flavor-defying price reaction to ๐Ÿ‘‘ delta neutral, ๐Ÿ’ฅ gamma max, or evenโ€”get thisโ€”both. Itโ€™s this past price magic that makes our trading signals sizzle! ๐Ÿช„๐ŸŒŸ

The plays and target entry prices are cooked up with some chefโ€™s kiss binomial options pricing reflecting the size and duration of the delectable drama at ๐Ÿ– gamma max and ๐Ÿฌ delta neutral affair. Catch this: the best plays get our taste buds tingling with a directional move, PLUS an IV boost! ๐Ÿš€ IV drip or IV delicious? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Notes - A Little Spice in Your Life ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก

  • If you missed out on biting into the entry price, be cautious! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Something changed from crayon-a-licious times to market open.
  • Take a biteโ€”sell half your position on a double, and then feast or freeroll the rest at your whim! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ
  • Iโ€™m a flavor risk taker, putting up to 1% of my taste capital on trades. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿซ Low conviction? Just go for 0.5% to 0.25% and savor your dollar cost averaging. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ’ฐ
  • Trades were whipped up pre-market open, so remember yesterdayโ€™s garnishes might not be fresh today. ๐Ÿ“† ๐Ÿฐ New price movements could make that thesis taste a little off. ๐Ÿค
