The fact that we can't agree anymore on simple truths keeps me up at night.

In science we agreed on core values or rules where everyone could empirically check the assertion made.
Heck we built in mechanism to challenge core beliefs and get them universally accepted.
It's not the forbearance of decorum or independent thought.
It's not even one of those close, disputed scientific advances waiting on more data to be settled.
It's not even a highly disputed nor controversial research with credible counter research
It is particularly triggering being born into dictatorship and we spent our lifetimes crying out every election.
The result has been two men, father, son, shared power for 65 years.
We bought into these ideals to hold these undeniable 'truths' that all men are created equal.
Especially, when powerless all of your life, you've had a seat at table of ruthless repression.
We bought into democracy. Regardless of our imperfect. Cough. EC.
All people "seemingly" equal... Side effect includes... Imperfect, but at least respected.
You can only choose to embrace one truth.
Relentless rebuttal to your own believes, nevertheless.
It's sad the line in the sand is at seeking and accepting your truth.
Leaving consensus to history. May it be kind to you

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.
MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (
https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
