TT research, managing at 50%…

TT research, managing at 50% still looks like the best ROC. Recent in last 2 weeks.

Agree with @walter6871 at 50%, but sorta like taking “mom’s” advice, shake you head yes, then go ahead doing what you wanted to do anyway! But going with 30 dte, 20wide and about -10/-08 delta for about .75 to .80 and out at 50% P/L…especially like better than 1.5 SD away from my stress level…

Learning this 5 or 6 years ago from TT has served me well!!! Looking forward to watching this.

  I traded like Karen the supertrader for a few years after seeing that, then Aug. 24, 2015 realized too late I had way to much risk on. Up to that point it was like shooting fish in a barrel! Still works but now I keep much better tabs on my risk.

  but i think it works better with strangles than with credit spreads. Ever since weeklies came on the scene, seems like spreads hold their value until really close to expiration, like 1-2 days.
