Thanks for the great video! There is a question: where did 70/30 percentage relationship come from? Or is it just an example?
So I understand your argument regarding applying a normal distribution to a stocks movement when looking at a single day, but how can you say that a stock is normally distributed over the long term when the indices like sandp and Dow have gone up over the long term. Do you then Chang the mean of the normal distribution to be positive overall in the long run for stocks. I love your videos but I'm not sure I agree with you when applying your statistical analysis to this particular video. Thank you
would good news coming out from a company or a great company change the 50/50 ratio of going up or down?
do you use technical analysis as well? i feel like i reached a block. i use iv rank or percentile and look for nearest otm support line. i leg into trades. do you have any suggestions for how to improve?
I do on during the next videos in the series – just go to my website to sign up for the free course.
Can you go in-depth on what principles you use when entering a trade? Thanks very helpful channel.
If I'm hearing your question right, yes you could always make another trade to offset the new market risk. The key is to make consistent, small trades so that overtime you get that normal distribution curve we went over in the video.
Hy my question is could i offset the risk with a different option stategy if my first trade went against to my expetation but not yet expired ?
