๐๏ธ Trading Thesis - Why These Crayons Are Finger-Lickin' Good
Gawrsh, folks! Let's talk about how we can predict the tastiest crayon colors using some fancy-shmancy technical analysis and indicator-based trading. ๐๐
You see, we're gonna use the current option open interest to calculate some big ol' numbers called portfolio-level greeks, like Delta and Gamma. Then we'll simulate how these greeks change at different price points, and find the levels where the gamma is the highest and the delta is close to 0. ๐
Sometimes, the price of our crayons reacts strongly to these levels, and that's what we'll use to drive our trading signals. ๐ก
Now, the plays and target entry prices are calculated using a binomial option pricing model, which helps us figure out the expected size and duration of the reactions. Most of these plays are profitable, but the best ones benefit from the directional move and the increase in IV. ๐ฏ
๐ Notes - Wrinkles and All
If the price has moved past the entry price, be careful! Make sure to sell half your position on a double, and freeroll the rest. I usually risk up to 1% of my total capital on trades, but if I'm less confident, I'll allocate less and dollar cost average in. And remember, the trades are based on info up to yesterday, so new price movements might change the whole game. ๐
โ FAQ - 'Cause Y'all Keep Askin'
Q: Are these plays mostly puts? Are you a gay bear? ๐ป
A: Nope! It just so happens that the companies are overextended, so these trades are mean-reverting.
Q: Are you entering all these plays? ๐ค
A: No siree! I'm just sharin' more plays with a probable edge to help you apes find more gain porn. ๐ฆ๐ฐ
Q: What if you mentioned a new play on the same ticker in the past? ๐ข
A: The new play should replace the old one. Don't chase the price, and remember that new data changes things.
Q: Where are the crayons? I only see words. ๐๏ธ
A: Click the links above, partner!
Q: Have you back-tested this? ๐งช
A: Yup! Results show a moderate Sharpe Ratio (1.76) and a 63% win rate (ยฑ7% margin of error).
Q: What's the historical performance? ๐
A: The realized Sharpe Ratio is 1.88 with a 66% win rate. There's a 95% chance the expected win rate will be between 62% and 77%. (Stats as of 2023-02-28) ๐
So, folks, that's the scoop on how we can find the tastiest crayons in the box! Now go out there, do your own research, and get that gain porn! ๐๐

>I think that these crayon colors are the tastiest because they are the most vibrant and intense. I also like how they look when you mix them together to create new colors.
