Actually reading through the Ofqual/DfE consultation rather than what has been said about it by others. It's not making me feel any better.

But, but, but...! This is such an unreasonable question!
Just hold the **** exams, for God's sake!
This passage makes zero sense to me. It's like a Boris announcement on the importance of following guidance. NEA is important, but only if the kids have all done it. It's the only evidence you can use in Art, but it's ok if it's not very good. Oh, and you can just make it up.
Oh, and if all else fails, just make it up using whatever stuff you can find to justify what you want to give.
Ah good, that's fixed the concerns over paper integrity. Nothing could possibly go wrong with these robust measures in place.
I'm sure nobody will do anything dodgy if this happens.
It's ok guys. Who cares that the whole plan doesn't work since they're going to give us some training!
And if it all goes wrong, it's you they'll be appealing to! Enjoy!
To be fair, I don't really blame Ofqual for this complete mess. The parameters they were given were impossible. Nobody could have come up with anything sensible from them. But we'll be the ones who have to pick up the pieces.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
