    Cliche, but living in the present frees you up from goal-attainment. I chase things less. No FOMO. I mean, I am risk-averse and my trading went predominately into vol-arb since the Ukraine war, but I've never slept well and now I am structured long tails so I can login after the open w/o...

    I am doing one in October. My oldest are 18 and 23, respectively. My 23yo is stone cold extraordinary at this. My 18yo is gifted but more concerned with hitting top-50 in Apex Legends and his streaming income. Finn (18) prefers to trade neutral gamma with spot. My oldest prefers to replicate...

    I had a 40% day last year on > 6K index flies. My biggest day this year was 14%, but it's been harder with the Ukraine situation. My arb-trading hitting massive HRs relies on a nominal skew figure and we're on the cusp of it here.

    Now, as I get older and come to grips with some issues I came to the realization that I truly don't give a fuck. Once I came to grips with mortality my trading improved profoundly. I have a paternal history of ALS. I am asymptomatic and it seems to impact my family in their late 60s. I have a...

    I don't look at that. My peak to trough variance is something like 5-6%, but that's PTT. High water to max DD.

    My average day (solved from compounded return) in 2019 (record year) was $35K. I am a grinder in low-freq. The difference between pre/post 2018 Dest was a move into net long vol/tails. "I am Vishnu... destroyer of counter-parties!"

    lol that thread shows three trades over $500K for the month; one showed an unrealized gain of $2.4MM. Million. Obviously it was a 22 share short on MRNA. TBH, I was hyper-aggressive as I had a large looming tax payment on an extension and I had to pay or lose on a San Diego property call...

    The dude is a loser. He is allergic to money. It doesn't really matter what he thinks, right? "Admit nothing, deny everything; demand proof and then refuse to accept it"

    Market lesson at this time...

    I've paid out $12K IIRC. @Arnie is the only ETer who has paid out.

    Someone PMed me about a wager. I searched but realized that I had you blocked which means that you had to log out to read my diarrhea. Must suck for you to be owned by someone who doesn't realize you exist. So what's the wager? That you trade a PDT account with RH? I cannot quantify "real...

    Former CBOE heavyweight Lee Tenzer has passed.

    LETCO built a lot of fortunes. Fascist Trumper, however.

    Wow was this a fail. I would get even more obscure with the bull-references next time. Like "tech will rally" and then source a ticker that was up on the day. I weep for your account.

    lol no. I never stated I was underperforming SPX. I am up 52% YTD. IIRC SPX perf is somewhat less. Dude, if you can post a single blotter exceeding $5K in gains I'll leave ET forever.
