So this means we can know in advance (theoretically) how much an option will move with the underlying & so we can prepare our strategies accordingly. (2/n)
THREAD ON DELTA (The most important GREEK)
Many traders don't indulge in understanding GREEKS because they think they are very complicated.
There are 4 primary greeks:
Delta
Gamma
Theta
Vega
In my experience, understanding DELTA is enough to take benefit of greeks.(1/n)
So this means we can know in advance (theoretically) how much an option will move with the underlying & so we can prepare our strategies accordingly. (2/n)
So if we can track this, we will always be in the know of how much exposed our position is. It makes it easier then to adjust our position. (5/n)
That's where it becomes complicated & delta takes that into account. Many times calls & puts have same premiums, but the distance from spot is different. (9/n)

My trading journey started at the age of 17. Coming from a family of professional traders it was easy to get a headstart & i quickly got accustomed to it. But at that time i didn't have a clue of what I'm getting into. I very well knew how money is made & lost in the markets(1/5)

Yesterday was brutal for some people...
Losing life-changing money sucks, losing any money sucks...you can chase the market or you can change your strategy.
2/ The original thread is gone but you can read it here.

tl;dr
- Traded $32k to $1.2m
- Thought I was a genius
- Made poor investments
- Didn't conserve capital
- Peaked at 150 BTC
- Lost nearly all of it
2 weeks from losing my house + no income. Oops.
3/ I am going to assume you are in it for the money rather than the tech. Yeah, you might Tweet about the amazing blockchaining of cross-border payments and oracles yadda yadda...really, you are in it to make money.
If you are really in it for the tech, go and build something.
4/ Okay, so if you want to make money, trading is super hard, you are trading against:
- Better traders than you
- People who can move markets
- Unknown information
And if you are trading with leverage you might blow up your account with the volatility.
5/ If you are not trading, you are investing. Okay, so what are you investing in?
I made the decision that the crypto with the best opportunity of existing in 10 years is #Bitcoin:
- Solves a genuine problem
- The right tech
- A proven track record
Here are the best resources.
