Once again, about "time decay"

Once again, about "time decay"# Stock
j*b
1
Time decay is kind of mystified here. It is not magic.
For example, people talk about shorting tna and tza at the same time. Lets
take a look at such a trade.
Imagine you short $10,000 worth of TNA and TZA both. So you need a fund of $
20,000. Imagine IWM first go down 3% and then up 3%. So TNA and TZA go up 9%
and down 9% in different order, and both becomes 99.19% of the original
value, and you pocket a profit of .81%, or $162.
Now imagine instead of doing the above trade, you buy $5400 worth of iwm
when it went down by 3%, then sell it when it went up 3%, you will pocket a
profit of about $162, with a fund of just $5400.
These two trades have the same profit because they basically did the
same. But then they are different.
The difference is not just $20,000 vs $5400. In the first trade, your
positions are much more dangerous. You may get margin call very quickly if
the market goes in one direction too much.

You made a wrong, and unfair assumption to your favor.
When you evaluate other people's TNA/TZA short, you assume the market is
neutral. But when you evaluate your IWM trade, you assume you made the right
call. What if the market moves against your will?

No it's not unfair.
Time decay is realized by adjusting position (done automatically through the
use of leveraged etf), the second trade did the same thing -- adjusting
position, just manually.

right

I guess the comparison should be $162 for shorting both versus $0 for buying
IWM if the IWM went down 3% first and went back up 3.09%.
The $162 profits could be a rewarded for the possible margin call losses

Please check the 1-year chart of IWM, TNA, and TZA, 10/12/2010-10/12/2011
If you long IWM with full account value, you get 0% return in 1 year.
I short TNA/TZA, say 1/3 on TNA and 1/3 on TZA. TNA is down 20% and TZA is
down 46%. My return is +25%.
And, 1/3 TNA short and 1/3 TZA short, together, has lower leverage than 100%
in IWM.

You are right, I miscalculated a little. But the difference is very slight.
My point is that you can get the same profit of $162 the same way without
risking margin calls

In the first case, you short without a condition.
In the second case, you buy with a condition.
You can not compare these two because the second trade would not exist if
the condition does not meet.
How about just compare buy now and the market down 3% and then up 3%. You
made profit on the first trade while no profit on the second.

The problem is can you short both position with you entire account? No right
? Do you know why? Because these trades have high beta.
Shorting 3x etf for time decay is basically the good old gambling trick of "doubling my bet if I lose". You are guaranteed to win if you have infinite capital.

You have difficulties understanding English. I said 1/3 of account short TNA
, and 1/3 short TZA. The return is 25% in 1 year, and it is much safer than
100% in IWM with 0% return.
If you still do not admit you are wrong, I have no other words.

The key is delta, you can adjust your account to any delta.
In my two examples, for the first trade, the delta for three days are

$5,400
0
For the second trade, the delta is
0
$5,400
0
You can always adjust your account to any delta at close, so these are very

的变,就不停的adjust。那么讨论一个strategy就没有意义了.需要讨论的是一个
strategy在不停变化的市场条件下的实用性。

你到底adjust不adjust base on future market呢?

我烧过3X对冲组合,实际操作中确实有收到broker强迫买回的警告。
所以单边市场里这样做不太容易,如果trading size太大,几乎肯定有一腿
要被强迫敲掉。
烧一点点玩的,不在这个讨论范围。
在range market里烧,应该是很好的选择。

I whose 词语 delta refers to future delta? So how to you answer when people
ask you "what is your delta"? Do you give him your current delta, or you say
"well, if the market goes to zero tomorrow, then my delta will be 0, on the
other hand, if the market goes up 1000000%, then my delta will be pretty
big. So basically, my delta is between 0 and infinity".
Or it's like people ask you how much money you have in your bank account? You say "if I suddenly made a fortune then I will have a lot of money. But if someone steal my entire account, then I will have no money. So my money in the account is between 0 and infinity ".

时short立刻交易。然后市场变化down 3%,再升 3%。而作long的交易,要等,等到市
场先down 3%之后,在入场。我指出这一点,你就开始用delta来绕。这两个交易不同时

A little more on "time decay".
In my earlier posts I mentioned that time decay from 3x etfs can be totally
replicated by adjusting position. Of course adjusting position manually,
first, it takes some work, then there is the problem of commission and bid-
ask spread. Clearly 3x etf has the advantage of automatically adjusted (
almost) free of charge and daily.
But you need to realize that you don't need to adjust closely as often as
daily, because most of the "time decay" are generated from the few days when
there are big ups and downs. For example, if the market only moves 0.5%,
then the time decay is about 0.0225%. So if you invest $10,000, profit from
decay is just $1.125 in one day. So you earn next to nothing in decay in
those piggy days. How much you can earn by selling options? Much more.
On the other hand, if the market moves 5%, then the decay is 1.125%, that
means profit of $112.5 from the decay.
So, if you just capture the decay of the few violent days, you won't miss
much.
And on another note, it also tells the truth that the time decay are
mostly earned from the risky trading during the most violent days. That's
not easy money I have to say.

虽然你比较死脑筋,但是还是很用心的蛮执着。呵呵
看到你这样的人还是蛮有趣儿的。可惜你始终还是在自己的想法里面。如果你借鉴一下
别人的看法,就可能跳出自己固定思维的圈子。毕竟提高自己才是最重要的。
你所举的第一个交易例子实际上是赚time decay的操作。因为价格先降后升,虽然目标
价格相对没变,但赚到了time decay的利润。你所举的第二个交易例子实际上是赚波段
的操作。
如果一切都像计划的一样,你的结论肯定是正确的。time decay的利润怎么可能和做股
票吃波段的利润比呢?如果你加上option单边吃波段,利润肯定比股票单边吃波段的更
大。
但是因为波段不好判断,单边交易万一错了损失是很大的,因此才能谈到吃time decay
的操作的好处。
如果能够预测准确波段
option 波段利润> stock 波段利润> short 双向time decay利润 (同样的投入。
如果不同样的投入,同样利润情况下,回报率自然从高到低)。
如果不能准确预测波段,显然风险
option > stock > short 双向
这么明显的交易计划比较,由于你加上一些数学概念(delta),把简单的问题复杂化了
,还有心理总有不停adjust trades的概念在里面。然后就以为发现了一个关于time
decay的新操作。你的思考方式不是很open,总觉得大家没有理解你,只是专注在你的思
维里面,拼命解释。
其实你说的东西本身就是个事实(股票波段利润高于time decay利润),不用多解释,大家都明白的。
如果你能发现一种adjust方法可以弥补波段预测的不准确性,那就很有意义了。

: 虽然你比较死脑筋,但是还是很用心的蛮执着。呵呵
: 看到你这样的人还是蛮有趣儿的。可惜你始终还是在自己的想法里面。如果你借鉴一下
: 别人的看法,就可能跳出自己固定思维的圈子。毕竟提高自己才是最重要的。
: 你所举的第一个交易例子实际上是赚time decay的操作。因为价格先降后升,虽然目标

: 如果一切都像计划的一样,你的结论肯定是正确的。time decay的利润怎么可能和做股
: 票吃波段的利润比呢?如果你加上option单边吃波段,利润肯定比股票单边吃波段的更
: 大。
: 但是因为波段不好判断,单边交易万一错了损失是很大的,因此才能谈到吃time decay

They are exactly the same thing delta wise. How is that comparing apple to
orange?

哦,如果我说什么冒犯你了,请消气。没有别的意思。
在这里向你道歉了(我的确不该说你死脑筋,固执,不open什么的,以股票市场的经历来看,我的判断都是不准确的。哈哈)。
呵呵

It will be pretty close to 20K for IB for usual account.
Margin requirement for 3x etf is very high.
Buying dip is not timing the market. It dips --- buy, no dip --- don't buy, dip further after dipped, buy more. See, no timing.

Lol. That some big suggestions. I will suggest you a little differently,
just know what is delta, and read my earlier posts about delta, so that you
can understand what I'm talking about.
