Ben, check out this video, this guy seems to be debunking your strategy for intraday movements , but maybe it still holds true for longer holding periods https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tZp-DLB-y8E

Better returns than SPY but depends on a lot of things

Could this outperform spy? What type of returns could be expected from this.

Haven't been doing it much recently as I've been doing some other active trading in equities. Has anyone else?

anyone curious how he has been doing with the scalp trading

Connor Birdoes

My idea was about the same do u have any website to find equity research from institutions? That seemed like a good place to study up for me

Reading these posts/watching these vids is not bad or just start looking at markets and noticing stuff.

Hey Ben I am new to trading as a whole, about 16 now I want to step into this hell hole for whatever insane reason so where would u rec I get started? God help me

I'm just short the stonk instead of buying puts. If you buy the puts you're right you'd get almost nothing

If you just go short at one of the peaks, would insane premiums average out any real profits? I like degenerate gambling.

Borrow between UVXY and VXX seems to come down to fairly even rate so I don't compare it with those two. When holding SVIX, you don't have to pay that (and actually a lot of brokerages will pay you a % of the borrow rate if you agree to let them loan your shares), but the tracking error can be a big drag on performance. With VXX and UVXY that tracking error helps you. Overall they are similar and so if you'd rather just be long something rather than short buying SVIX instead isn't the end of the world.

I haven't really been holding any stocks long term recently, but maybe I'll go over the different trades I'm doing

How does the price of short interest figure into your calculations when it comes to shorting VXX vs longing SVIX? Also, I'm thinking your point about being short the VIX while futures are in contango would imply that holding SVIX (or being short VXX) would apply to these situations as well.

Could you make a video on some of your favorite stock picks for the rest of this year?

I still get confused on how the calls or puts can balance each other out. I am new to options and doing all the reading I can and your videos are teaching me alot.

Hey I'll just leave the calls as they're really more of an implosion hedge. I count them as basically having 0 ev and they're truly supposed to be there just to prevent against destruction. Sizing is the real risk management thing for me. Because of this I'm also just gonna pay whatever I need to to get them done to ur point about spreads, but I try to look for something with some liquidity. I used to look at the borrow, but I think now over the long term they both normalize to a similar rate, and I think the cost to trade in and out of things to be in the most optimal position probably outweighs the benefit you get from doing so. That could be wrong tho.

When scaling out due to volatility spikes do you touch your calls at all? When this last spike happened bid/ask spreads were super wide and fills felt hard to get. Also, are costs to borrow ever much of a concern in this trad or does that just not matter?

Panini

Haha yea I'll look at that

Ben needs your money

Don’t worry, if that happened we wouldn’t have the money to get into a parking garage. Any chance on touching on JEPI / VIX relationship?

This doesn’t sound like donating my money to Wall Street. Ben… are you… making money?
