Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I've been searching for some answers far and wide.
I was immediately attracted to the concept of delta neutral trading. I have learned a lot about it and have put on some mock trades. I'm doing okay so far, have made mistakes big and small and have tried to correct and adjust as best as I know how.
The 3 big drawbacks people usually cite with regard to delta neutral trading:
1) High fees
2) You do need a decent amount of capital to work with
3) Most people don't have 7 hours a day to sit and watch the market and adjust if they need to if a big move happens.
What other major drawbacks, if any, are there?
Also, in my mock trades, I am having a little trouble keeping everything organized. Is there any way to keep all the information we have to keep track of as organized and streamlined as possible?
And what is the best easiest way to calculate unrealized, and realized profits?
Where can I learn about this?
Thanks,
Andy
