On the request of one reader, each morning I will open a new post titled "Questions/Comments [Date]" where readers can talk about anything related to trading or general market. Topics may include potential plays on earnings, FDA decisions, technical breakouts/breakdowns, upgrades/downgrades, unusual option activity or any other market moving catalysts. There are a lot of people asking questions under unrelated topics. This should eliminate that and allow comments under a topic to be solely about that trade.
Please note that I have locked the forum for only registered users. Anonymous users please find a buddy at nearby bar in your hometown.
About Me
- Fahad Khalid
- Chicago, IL, United States
- I have Masters in Business (Accounting and Finance 2003) from Michigan State University. I have been trading the market since 1998. Prior to picking up trading as a full-time career in 2008, I was a management consultant at Alvarez & Marsal and Conway MacKenzie for four years. I provided turnaround, crisis management and restructuring services to financially distressed firms. Prior to working in turnaround, I worked in Audit & Assurance at Deloitte & Touche for two years. Trading in the market has always remained my side business ever since I started college. 90% of the time, I trade through options. I love volatility skews and positive Theta plays. While I make a lot of directional bets, in general my favorites are to take advantage of high implied volatilities through calendar or butterfly spreads and vertical credit spreads. I never buy straight calls or puts and I do a lot of exotic multi-leg option trades.
