Of course. Forget about max main that theory is retarded. Never happens...Look at the closest strike price with the highest volume, and open contracts, and call it a day. Happens 99% of the time...Our country is broke. We have no juice to get to max pain
with the vix dropping, maybe there's no need for max pain. I've lost half of all my premiums this week in options just from the vix, I think that's why they held sideways market all week. also max pain did not work last month, but has been reliable in the ten or so previous expirations. I imagined they've saved trillions in falling premiums this week, puts or calls.
