    Welcome to SteadyVol

    Very true. But at the same time, every business aims to reduce the costs. Finding a broker with commissions as low as possible is part of the business.

    Commissions are part of the trade management. Anyone using IB for example, is giving away about half of the profits completely unnecessarily. It's clearly important.

    Trading is a business. Commissions are a cost of doing business. We should be focusing on trade management, not commissions lol.

    Tradier only works for US clients?

    Honestly, I don't really understand why people don't switch to Tradier. Zero commissions, one of the lowest VIX fees, excellent customer service, competitive execution etc. If I wasn't in Canada, I would switch a long time ago.

    I think I will need to look at other options, like Tradier.

    Looks like it, yes. Why not to try Tradier?

    Well I looked at Tastytrade's site a little more. It looks like the $.65 per contract for trading the VIX is both directions, plus you still have to pay the $1 per contract with a $10 max per leg. I'm thinking they aren't the best solution for higher contracts trades with the VIX.

    Thanks for the fee list Kim. I guess I missed that part. You wouldn't know if that $.65 per contract is only for opening, or if it's for both opening and closing?

    I use Tastytrade as well. Unfortunately their $10 max does not apply to VIX - you will pay $1 commission for every VIX position you open. Overall they are pretty expensive for this system, but I am using them for convenience right now while I consider a long term alternative. It's still a profitable system though.

    I am a returning subscriber. Long story short I couldn't get my emotions out of the way in the past. Here's my question; I use Tastytrade and they have a maximum $10 per leg no matter the contracts for stock options. Would this work well with SteadyVol due to the larger quantity of contracts?

    To become an engineer you have to study 4 years, and probably another 4 years (at least) to become a good one. Why people expect it to be different in trading? Yes, it's a long journey, like everything in life.

    Hi, I'm excited to hear about this new strategy. What is the learning curve and how hard is it for a novice trader to execute the trades for this strategy? Compared to the other SO strategies. I've spent many many hours studying the SO education center, the strategies, and reading the forum. Gave up as it looks like a year(s) long journey to learn how to trade options - get good order fills and make a profit.

    My best estimate is a mid April launch. I do intend to close the April spread tomorrow, however I’m not going to open the May trade tomorrow. I see a pretty solid spike in Treasury yields in the next two weeks, which I believe will add to vol. I’m going to continue to hold the CPS and monitor markets before opening the May DPS.

    Scott, is it fair to assume that the fund will not launch before May 1 ? I am sure we will close the April positions in the next few days and I like to get a sense where I need to have my funds for the next round.

    Tradier Brokerage Special Offer

    I just tried to use Tradier's Android app and I found it less intuitive to use and also seemingly more lacking in features. In this forum, there has been mention of folks using the mobile browser to use Tradier. One of the features I couldnt seem to find was the ability to see pending orders, or to manage multilegged orders as one position. Would appreciate if folks could confirm my experience I would also like to confirm that the mobile app experience still has lots of room for improvement and that the mobile web page is the way to go when accessing Tradier on the mobile phone

    I have not used RH, but as long as they are using a true exchange fee pass thru, they would be a good option.

    Welcome to SteadyVol

    Is it viable to trade Steadyvol with Robinhood? They seem to offer no commissions on options, only exchange fees. I have an Interactive account but am considering moving to somewhere with low or no fees, easy cash movement, and substantial size / reputation, so RH seems to fit that bill. Curious if anyone trades any of the Steadyoptions services on Robinhood, what are your thoughts?

    Crude Oil/30 Year Treasury Yield Correlation

    The typical length of training and testing data for a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the problem, the amount of available data, and the specific requirements of the task. However, there are some common practices and considerations. The training data length should be large enough to capture the underlying patterns and relationships in the data effectively. I use a significant portion of the available data for training, typically around 70%-80% of the total dataset. The accuracy is the RMSE and is equal to 1.4%
  26. Personally, I have TLT between 90 and 95 over the course of the next three weeks.
  27. The above is an excellent chart of the correlation. As can be seen. The correlation is extremely strong until the pandemic, where yields needed to forge out an even lower low. However, as soon as that correction was made, the two synced right back up again.
  28. I like the idea of applying ML to this strategy. Thanks for the detailed background on your process! Did you do any testing splitting up past data into a training set and a test set? And if so, what sort of accuracy have you seen for those predictions?

    I would estimate 4-6 executions per month.
