Cellsee6, Not sure what the problem is but TOS' Exported AccountStatement does contain your filled orders. In TOS you set your time range fields to see and some others settings. In csv file you have to look for "Trade History" section - it has all your fills. You may need to extract this...

Yep the key is market direction. You don't put RR willy-nilly. This is not a trade to be put on every month on and off. You use your market reading as a guide, if you do you have a chance to learn on mistakes. I also look at existing positions (or planned ones) to see how RR cooperates with...

> What is the market waiting for ? For everybody to get long. Fundamental economic reasons are one thing. Market actions are the other. Gov has many tools to create desired outcome that seems to contradict solid economic reasoning and common sense. It can't last forever but can last long...

Those are different, but related, issues. I tried to explain how to calculate prices using put-call parity. For tips how to figure out price when options chains seem to be flawed - look at other material on Aeromir or other places. Maybe as Tom to do practical exercise on one of 101 sessions. If...

Status1, maybe I'm jumping ahead of Tom, but I think you have it backwards. Typically you use put-call parity to figure out price of less liquid option or option that has a price that looks suspicious. In your example you have ITM call with wide bid-ask spread and OTM put with narrow spread...

Tb2018 is right. Price of an option is a price of an option. One can perceive this price as expensive other as cheap. It is a matter of subjective risk perception. There is no such a thing as objectively cheap or expensive options. Imo, edge is in inside/deep knowledge of the market - knowing...

Cool! :) You may consider announcing topics ahead of the meetings. I rather skip explanations what calls or puts are but be interested in smth like Razzle Dazzle or ratio/ time spreads or BF dissections. Want to compare notes.

What is 'Options 101?'

This is true and exaggeration. True bc it is a 'philosophy' of trading. Those looking mainly for some signal to place a trade are often missing the whole point. I was thinking about it and leaning to opinion that new traders are mostly deaf to talks of practitioners of this 'philosophy...

I drop my 2 cents (market was good for me today - I was lucky). I’m familiar with Random Walk. Not a paid member but from time to time I have access to video recordings. I also purchased some materials from Ed. I do not follow RW trades though. For what I remember there was a setup I liked...

Hi MarioM, I'm not Tom and I stay away from algo trading - so should stay quiet but stepped on this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfzGZB4HhEE I have no idea what's in it, you may find those 4 hours being a valuable mining lot. Appreciate if you share some general thoughts about algo trading. By...

Are you saying that TOS has problems? I may check up tomorrow but I'm pretty happy with TOS' platform. It performs well if you know how to handle it but ofc things do happen. Regarding ATR. My remarks were of general nature not related to any specifics. I agree that if the only goal is to copy...

Hi Status, I couldn't make to TG1 and do not know Tom's motives but I can see purpose of his actions. Of course I can't, and don't want to, speak for Tom. First reason is to create independent source of info (in this case ATR number) where you know exactly how it is calculated thus is safe...

Tom, thanks! Looking at this page one realizes how much material you've created over time. I gladly return to some of old recordings when have some spare time. It's good to refresh some concepts at the sources. Nicely done and useful piece of work.

Rich, I do not have a code to share but can help you with tackling Account Statement. In general the whole process may look like this: 1 save .csv file to disk 2 import this file to your python code 3 from imported data extract parts that interests you (you can use everything if you wish to...

Hi, delta hedging has many flavors. Doing contentious delta hedging can became quite expensive for retail traders. You can adjust you position once a week or/and with each 1% move - as an example. In this case you don't need exact delta numbers - mostly anything will do. If you intend to adjust...

Plotly offers great web integration and is very handy for analyzing graphs. I use it for couple of years already and it's still under heavy development ... That said, my new projects may require me dusting off mpl. I know the graph you posted. This is RTT but many other trades, including new Box...

Pandas is the way to go when dealing with data in Py. Also nothing wrong with Jupyter - it will speed up learning process. I understand addiction to Excel but when/if you start using Py it will became a drag. Good luck with py adventure if you have any py-trading related questions - there are...

I thought that XLwings relates to size of butterfly wings :) My bad. Thanks for info but I can not use xlwings for couple reasons. Most obvious is that I do not have Excel. If I had one on my system I'd still prefer doing everything in python alone it's cleaner this way. Not sure what Excel can...

Good to hear somebody is working on trading codes. I also use py but without Excel. I wander how and why do you use Excel. I'm not quite clear on what do you mean by "XL wings". Is it 20points, 50? 100? 200? To bad you can't post your code. Maybe zip it? I'm interested to see what you are doing...
