YTD I'm making 62% return in Robinhood. That is from March when I switched. I made some more in Fidelity before March but that number is harder to find because Fidelity sucks. Right now the S&P500 is up 6.43% YTD. My pot of cash started as the payoff from Intel's layoff. It's now a bigger pot of cash and I've also been paying myself out of that pot.
I am fully aware that others have better information, but my trading strategy includes methods to address that imbalance.
The biggest information imbalance is that market makers have full visibility of the options they sold and they can manipulate the market price of stocks to optimize their side of the options trade. This is why stocks land on round numbers at option expiry time.It is to render the maximum number of options worthless.
