Working on a tool to screen for option contracts quickly based on premium yields I'm new to options trading (only a year into it). I recently started using the wheel strategy, as I realized more money is made writing options than buying options. Premiums are boring, but they are a more reliable way than other beginner option strategies. I built a tool that screens for CC and CSP based on premium yield. I've been using it go generate ideas for myself. Feel free to use it and give any feedback you guys might have- [https://wheelstrategyoptions.com/options](https://wheelstrategyoptions.com/options) 1 0 replies

Do you take any supplements to help with trading? Maybe something like L Theanine to keep you calm and clear headed? Edit: I think most people reading my post assume I’m new to trading. I’ve been trading for 8.5 years and consistently profitable for 5. But one thing I still struggle with is my anxiety during trades, it doesn’t affect how my trade goes as I’ve trained myself to follow my rules regardless of how I feel, but nonetheless the tension is there and probably raising my cortisol levels which can’t be good for my health. That is... 1 19 replies
Trading Bot Does First Live Day Without Crashes I've been working on the bot for almost six months since getting laid off at IBM. Yesterday, it traded /MES on my live account to within 4 points of the replay data I ran afterward, with the exact number of trades at approximately the same prices (differences due to fill prices). This means all my tests on replay data up to this point, from June-Dec of 2024, are likely accurate. My tests show a net gain of approximately 820 points over six months. I just wanted to celebrate with... 1 0 replies
Running Into a Wall – Treasury Market’s 2025 Stress Test **Summary** 2025 is shaping up to be a reckoning year for the Treasury market, and it all boils down to debt management. With $3.6 trillion in short-term maturities rolling over, the shift from Janet Yellen’s short-term borrowing binge to Scott Bessent’s long-end-focused strategy feels less like a pivot and more like a survival maneuver. The Treasury’s plan to issue longer-term debt introduces supply-side pressures that could steepen the yield curve and elevate borrowing costs. It’s Econ 101 supply-demand mechanics—but on a trillion-dollar scale. Full article (disclosure: I wrote it):... 3 1 replies

Tips from a prop trader Good evening. I am a futures trader who works for a prop trading firm. Here’s some tips for people that are struggling. 1. Study your trading: I always record my sessions. I review my sessions at the end of the week. I make sure that I am thinking properly. I find discrepancies in my judgement and make note to account for them in future sessions. 2. Consistency is key: Maintaining standards for utility (Risk:Reward) is more profitable than going for homers. 3. Pay attention to significant events: Know when... 4 1 replies
How are 100% buffers implemented? I notice there are some buffered ETFs that offer "100% downside protection" in return for limited upside. I'm not looking to trade ETFs but rather I'm asking a technical question on how this is done so that I can possibly implement buffers in my trading. The best I can come up with is e.g. Buy 100 shares of NVDA at price = 150 Sell 1 call, strike = 160 Buy 1 put, strike = 150 Sell 1 put, strike = 140 However, this does not provide 100% downside protection,... 5 0 replies
Volume & Supply and Demand Hi guys, there's something that confuses me alot and hope to have some insights Price moves base on Supply and Demand, if there's higher demand than Supply, price will rise and vice versa. Meaning if the market has a high demand of a stock of apple, and there's not enough Supply, price will increase And we also know for volume, it represents the amount of transaction that occurs (i.e if volume says 100, that means 100 shares were bought and sold since every 1 share/unit bought would need to... 2 6 replies

recurrent pattern in the bubbles. BTC Cycles aren't totally halving-dependent ? The big shot wasn't the last one 150K ? Recently, I came across a [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Boulder-Investment-Technologies/lppls) that implements the LPPLS model in Python to detect speculative bubbles. I will let the author of the repo describing the LPPLS model : "The LPPLS model provides a flexible framework to detect bubbles and predict regime changes of a financial asset. A bubble is defined as a faster-than-exponential increase in asset price, that reflects positive feedback loop of higher return anticipations competing with negative feedback spirals of crash expectations. It models a bubble price as a power law with a finite-time... 4 0 replies
