ELON MUSK IS GOD

[monsterj]

ok i just read this:

"if a trader buys a call because he/she thinks premium is cheap, he/she would then hedge off some of the directional risk by selling stock short against the calls."

and lo and behold the premium on that june 900 option was $20, and now its $34 or something.

so there's a piece of the puzzle falling into place.

Being long, you can win two ways. You can profit off your scalp from the underlying hedges, and you can sell your premium if it goes up more than the loss in dirextional underlying.

is there a tool online where i can simulate what would have happened if i attempted a Weird Straddle at some arbitrary time in the past?

eg i enter a call placed on Jan 1 for market value strike price + 20% on Ford for a feb 7 call or whatever, and another put for strike price -20% on Disney, same date / duration. and i want to see what sort of profit/loss over time it generates?

if not ill write one but id rather not re-invent the wheel.

Option Alpha has a backtest program that I hear is pretty good but there is a cost to use. It's expensive but less I'm sure than what you lost on those TSLA puts. ;-)

yeah he actually posted about it on his website. he called out a chinese virologist as the source of the wuhan plague, in so many words.

not a lot of sympathy tbh.

i found some open source / python packages that do similar things and a website thats offering API access to historic data for stocks/etfs/etc. quite cleverly they appear to have one account tier that does stock historics and another that does the etf historics, but even if i get both its less than $100 a month, so im likely going to take the plunge.

if i get this shit up and running ill let you know.

its unclear why it truncated it to 5 entries from either direction tho.

im going through the source code in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yahoo_historical/fetch.py and not seeing anything that would dictate that behavior which makes me think, sadly, this is a yahoo side deprecation.

will tuck in regardless, nice catch and thank you.

UAL is down something like 21% since 11/19 and I think it could lose another 30% in the next 12 weeks. its extremely exposed to coronavirus impact and a market thats starting to demand more than the current fed injections to stay buoyant.
