Thanks. I'm really trying to put a focus more on the process rather then the "trade calling". Everyone on ET "calls out" trades it seems and I find little value in that. The value is in the process. One needs to know "why" they are making the trade. And "why" the trade is working or...

I try to always trade exchange quoted spreads because you usually get lower margin. I'm not really worried about missing prices on an implied spread though since I'm not daytrading these.

I track the spread.

I agree. All the other data carries a lot of variance. Sure, one could have lots of experience but was that due to luck, environment, knowing the right people, etc. There are literally infinite amounts of combinations that can explain a person's life story. But a normalized test centers...

Just wanted to follow up on this quiz. From April 11th we saw that had you shorted CL outright you possibly could have been stopped out on the trade as we were toying with a confirmation. The spread on the other hand offered no such heat and came in nicely from the $3 level to around $9 now...

Sweet! I don't have to read any more of your crap until then? God, I hope his funds takes then. I hope you are a man of your word.

Yeah dude, I'm aware of the instruments an alternative asset firm uses. When are you going to start adding some value to this thread?

There is a lot of stuff in the archives on options. I use options a lot (both hard and soft deltas). I use hard deltas for equity stuff and soft deltas for future stuff.

Wow, a lecture in data mining. Neat, teach me more. Yeah I can play that game too. Had you bought his fund last March, you would be up 50% now. Spare me the data mining. Either look at the total population set or none at all. Otherwise we can cherry pick any data point in the set to...

Let me help you out here. Most BEAR funds are not short stock funds. Bear funds in the fund industry typically are defined as funds whose primary strategy is not being long risk assets. For example, the most famous of them, David Tice, has very few short stock holdings. A majority of his...

Those are not exotics. LOL. TOS has no interest in mom and pop trying to trade coffee options. It's a nightmare already getting people on ET just to understand the settlement procedures of SPX options. One guy on here wanted to launch a lawsuit against TOS because he did not understand...

Not tradeable at TOS. Although I have no idea what product you are referring to in general. Calling something exotic doesn't help.

Because they are not available to trade.

I don't think you understand convergence. There is a basis price between oil delivered at a specific point (in this case Cushing, OK) and the actual futures price. The futures price is NOT suppose to converge. The basis is part of the embedded logistics cost of actually moving oil...

Kind of ironic that on a thread defending the free speech of ET that someone should get banned for......free speech.

To be fair, back in the day when I was a bigger "dick" a large majority of my stuff got censored here. I just think most don't notice because if you are not actively posting on a thread, how would you know. I use to get into fist to cuffs with Don and my shit had a 90% deletion rate. LOL...

Man, I have to read my stuff more often. There is some good stuff there! :)

What is obvious....is obviously wrong. :)

You are forgetting one of the most famous ACD axioms...:(

Ahh, my bad. I saw the word fix and thought it was vix. LOL. I stand corrected. I have a bad glare on my laptop. :)
