Tackle Today: I don’t know

When we’re in a meeting with friends or family, or even surrounded by a few unknown individuals, the same type of question often surge: “Oh, so you work in the financial markets, right (yellow smile on the face, tap on the shoulder etc.)? Let me ask you this: is {{insert the name of the asset

Tackle Today: Do you have a system?

Warren Buffett is now almost 90 years old. He is one of the most successful investors of all time. One day, just like the rest of us, he will pass away. Even if he lives until he’s 110, he’s pretty close to his final days. Do you think he will just leave all his investments

Tales of a Technician: Diversifying Condors

Upon grasping the appeal of condor selling on indexes, many wonder about the merit of deploying these feathered profit-givers on multiple indexes such as the RUT and SPX simultaneously. My default response is that such a gambit is redundant due to the strong correlation between both products.

Tackle Today: What Rocky taught me about investments

How much pain do you think you can handle? “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

Tackle Today: Vers la lumière

Towards the light.  The more you know, the more there is to know. New students are eager to learn and make money, but that’s just not how it works. Would you trust a doctor who learned his craft just by reading books? The learning curve you’ve got to submit yourself to in order to become

Options Theory: Russian Roulette & Randomness

Ever since fully understanding the role of randomness in trading, I’ve made it a point to mention it to any who will listen. It makes an appearance in both Options classes I teach for Legacy, it’s part and parcel of a discussion on system development, and it’s a core focus during mentorships I have the

Environmental Hedging – Operation Market Garden Phase 1: Concept Design

Hello my friends, long time no see/read…I trust you’ve been doing great, enjoying the nice weather and making some money on the markets. I am doing well, although trading has been not so good the last two months. Specifically, I got hit with two consecutive RUT condors (Cashflow Condor system), and a couple of “fake break-outs”,

Tackle Today: I’ve failed over and over and over again

Work hard to win the championship. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” This quote belongs to a fresh

Tales of a Technician: Progress & Observable Leaps

Progress can be sluggish, imperceptible in the short run. It is only when one looks back upon their previous selves that the leaps become observable. This summer I embarked on my annual trek to the in-laws who live in southern California. From a trading perspective, Lady Fortuna smiled upon me.

“Tell me, Mr. Anderson: What good is a phone call, if you’re unable to speak?” – Agent Smith to Neo (Matrix, 1999) You sat down with your mentor and came up with a custom-built system. Yours is a cashflow system, one that sells 45 DTE Condors against the RUT (Russel 2000 Index). It’s a winning

Tales of a Technician: How I Played the Euro Like a Fiddle

I’ve taught all day, and my noodle is cooked. So if you were preparing for a philosophical tale full of deep-seated thoughts, prepare for mild disappointment. Instead, I’m shooting straight with a useful look back at how I played the failed Euro rally last month like a straight-up fiddle.
