About

My cousin, on the right, and I near fisherman’s wharf in San Francisco

This blog’s main purpose to to outline my options trading style, potential trades, market commentary, and to highlight interesting options articles from outside sources. Aside from options trading, I plan on posting about fitness. Posts will vary but generally be on healthy recipes, related articles, goals and progress, and some workouts. I’m always working at having a healthy body, mind, and wallet.

I graduated with a BA in Economics from San Francisco State University and have just completed my first year of graduate school at the University of San Francisco, where I am working on my M.S. in Financial Analysis.

    Good luck on your 65. I think you’ll do great. Email me if you need help studying. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help with your memorization skills. (;

    Hey Victor.

    I’m a new trader, I’m still trading papermoney on TOS. I just saw your last video on volatility skew. I would like to know how do you construct the excel spreadsheet. If there is any instructions on how to do it I will appreciate the information. Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge via your blog, once I get some experience trading i’ll do the same to help other traders.

    Thanks.

      Hey Anthonely,

      The excel spreadsheet has pretty much been a work in progress for me. I use the Excel DDE link available through TOS in order to import data into excel and then I am free to manipulate it. I’m trying to refine it so that I may be able to post a working version on my site soon.

      Glad you like the blog!

    Hi Vic,
    Love your site! I’m sure you have covered this before, but how do you calculate the 1 Std Deviation for the ATM IV (for picking the wings)? Thanks!

      Hey Falconie,

      Thanks! I use excel to calculate standard deviations. I have a template that I can send to you. Send me an e-mail (listed above my soccer picture) and I’ll send it to you.

    read your article about “Is ORACLE a buy here?” – you should take more care about using negative and positive numbers – your revenue growth numbers (Y-o-Y) are wrong and therefore the analysis is flawed….
