The market trades 77 and I sell my profitable calls. The market collapses and I buy 115 calls to offset my gamma risk.
There is no rhyme or reason.
Unless you follow the math.
Which means long boring hours of analytical work someone labeled ‘creative’ is believed to not be capable of.
It is easy to become obsessive, but I trade with the confidence that I can only follow my system and track the opposing systems.
And see what happens based on the reality of markets.
Human behavior dictates desire.
Desire dictates supply and demand.
Supply and demand dictate market dynamics.
The union of opposing/opposed systems results in price.
Price becomes the focus of the accounting systems that create ‘value’.
Those numerical values create desire.
What, is desire?
It is the will to solve a puzzle, rise to a challenge, answer a question, or do a job.
What we will do, as humans, in the name of anything, is remarkable.
Stay tuned.
