This is how you flush retail gamblers and lotto buyers. 😂
Algos pulled the rug, with large sales at 6:45 and 7:00, -gamma & theta/charm obliterate massive open call delta, MM’s do the rest by unwinding hedges & dumping shares.
Wonderful positive feedback loop - textbook.
1/ Since 2008, $AMZN monthly chart went through easily identifiable boom & bust cycles.
While "busts" have mostly been long consolidation, "booms" have seen multiple 100% returns over roughly a year, in 2016, 2018 & 2020.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here’s a short 🧵about a bad year turned OK.
TL;DR; After a difficult first half of the year, I moved my trading account from HSBC to IBKR and now I am actually green YTD, in big part thanks to some great people.
@runaway_vol
This photograph is so manipulative it hurts, but the attention to detail is actually impressive.
I could talk a lot about other details, but two golden anklets of different widths, discrete red polish, and slightly upwards pointing toes (which improves arch curvature) are…

@UN_Women
“including women & girls”? Good point, because usually toxically masculine men save their cowadly asses first, instead of saving women, children & the elderly, right?
@theDividendKid
Uhm, you were “made aware” when they gave you access and pointed you to all your employment docs. You just chose not to familiarize yourself with them.
If you picked up the 12/26 GC 2020p you could cover 4/5 here to cover costs and take some solid gains… now 16 mid and opened last night around 3.2 iirc

@HarryWangEra
The first trade was the one to buy puts expiring in 15 minutes? I mean, I know, this is a casino, but come on, be reasonable. 😂

@birdcar_dev
As someone who owns massive segments of a global service *much* greater that Twitter, I can confidently tell you that if we fired half of our people, we’d be in trouble in weeks - if not from major outages, then from a thousand paper cuts.
@InfTradeSPY
@KobeissiLetter
Because of your extensive research into these companies, 100s of hours of work you put in but offer digested in a catchy little sentence?
@jam_croissant
doing victory laps & posting his little win in response to little retail anon tweets is one of the more pathetic things I’ve seen lately. 🤡🤣

@RealDanODowd
You can’t be serious.
You do realize that you’re implying that average human driver would not obey the stop sign, which would probably mean this intersection sees 10s of thousands of collisions each month.
I’m also incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon brilliant folks like
@lord_fed
and
@Vexxly
. Insights they offer are unprecedented, and they complement each other really well. I thought my macro/quant game was okay-ish, but boy am I happy to be humbled. 😂
@Jedi_ant
“It’ll fool everyone again”
It sure as hell fooled you. People probably don’t follow you (and pay you) to be right about macro calls *eventually*.
They do follow you for insights that turn into profitable trades and those have been scarce at best for a long time.
@SuburbanDrone
Casually ignore the fact that $AMZN Ads grow as fast as $GOOG’s, their primary revenue driver, and AWS grows at 40%, dominates the cloud and is set to make $100B in 2023. Ignore that its 3P is bigger and faster than $SHOP…
How big of a douche bag are you on the scale of:
1. Paper trader
...
......
.........
10. Getting excited about a war so that your puts could print.
I say the entire scale is well-covered. 🍩
The doomers are out in full force tonight, as if on an eve of a historic battle. Oh, the drama. Oh, the suspense.
They do not offer alpha. They do not offer even beta. They don’t care for you. They feed you F. U. & D. because they are *addictive* so you keep following them…
@martinojs
@TopSekret3450
It’s theta positive and roughly vol neutral. It can work in an absence of a directional move. It has a 5:1 r:r (risking 5 pts for 5 pts) with max payout if ES grows by ~1.1% over next two days. It has a breakeven point of 4455 vs 4485 for the long call. Downside = capped upside.
@Kenny___Rose
@TheSonney
He’s calling bullshit on your poor take, or is that prohibited against a “female-identifying” entity and auto-classified as “mansplaining” when delivered by a “male-identifying” entity?
In Purple Eggplant, we manage numerous accounts with different sizes, themes and strategies.
We are proud of this little guy reaching an ATH and a very important numeric milestone this week.
kek. kek. lmao.
🍆 Capital is long a bunch of bonds with our good friend
@lord_fed
but we’re also not complete 🍩🥐’s and we know when to hedge. Pretty sick /10Y dip buy.
These guys are coming in handy right now. Wish we bought more, someone’s 🍑 is getting 🔥.
@Trudeaus_Ego
God this is so cringe.. that pose, that tone, the smirk… imagine standing up and applauding to that, and if you look at the drones in the back, they know they have to and are getting ready for it as he credcendos into his grand finale 🤣
@RichardHanania
I thought spaceships represented human courage, ingenuity and curiosity and I find it incredibly racist to associate these traits with “whiteness”.
Purple Eggplant Capital is a proud steward of some $TSLA puts, firmly believing these brave investors will soon be given a chance to load up on sub-$200 prices. Onward and downward!
My fellow $TSLA investors
I see Teslas on every corner as FSD Beta 11 weaves through Los Angeles.
We are winning. Who is willing to be a brave steward of one of America’s most important assets?

@MyLordBebo
I'm not a Пидр haha, and why are you so upset about lgbt?
Just looking at your profile picture - you could totally be gay or lesbian, depending on your gender which I can't really tell. Is this why you are so angry?
Yeaterday I reached my goal of seeing two weeks of +$1k gains from 0DTE long Θ, short vol plays.
Today is a continuation of the trend, so I’m obviously happy about that, and it’s a result of 3+ months of practice through various market conditions, failure and scaling.
I don’t care for “bulls” or “bears” and I think pretending you’re with or against either team is silly. 🤣
If you see yourself as part of either camp, I wish that every day you’re a little less miserable than the one before. ❤️

@MyLordBebo
What if I was also a Slav and knew of many examples of Orthodox priests molesting children, just like their Catholic counterparts?
I started realizing how wrong my mindset and how embarrassingly shallow my understanding of many critical aspects of trading is. I saw just how much I needed to work on my emotions (e.g. fear of being wrong, fear of regret, etc.). I’m still not there, but I���m making progress.
I can’t stress enough how important it is to find or build a network of intelligent, knowledgeable and supporting individuals, as well as quality tools and insights. I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I’m well-equipped for the future.
Somewhere in August, I think, I finally joined
@froggytrade
. It was the first time I *actually* began to study how trading works. It was all new to me, so it was fascinating just to watch how Frog and the group trade and read their conversations.
@L__G__B
This is what happens when you don't have a clear purpose in life.
You become your own purpose, so you make this super-important mystery about some very banal and basic traits of your own.
For them, it's literally means of self-preservation, a subconscious escape from the void.
What the hell???
Bobo told me market is screwed when $AAPL $GOOGL $AMZN miss, because literally nobody thought they would miss and that would be a massive surprise...
@GeekStrategy
@RJRCapital
What you are pointing to is volume *profile*, and of course the profile will be thin here since you’re showing a time period in which that price range is basically new highs. Volume is at the bottom of your chart, and you can see, it’s actually fairly high. Jesus…
I am pleased to report that Purple Eggplant Capital is having a decent year so far.
Once we inevitably get obliterated, we will ask our good friend James Cordier to direct a sobby apology video for our clients.

@yuriymatso
Yes, but being a doomer and calling for the end of the world produces much more likes. Your charts are boring, the world simply survives. What’s exciting about that? 😂
