weight: 176 fitness: C weed/alcohol: using more than ever sleep: D Weekly P&L -7053 completely out of sync with market right now :banghead: All losses from my pairs trades but wheel did not perform well either.

About 9h/2h - 2 hrs on trading (launching systems, maintenance tasks, watching them during the day on a google sheet and doing accounting after the trading day)

All good and fair points - appreciate the follow up.

this will probably be a bad inside joke that's lost in translation - but i'll try anyway. many traders follow probabilities - i certainly do - so let's occams razor this. Based on the wording and the fact that you see 27k in 2 weeks -> you didn't even bother to scroll a page back -> you don't...

With interest rates getting higher - I'm looking at 3 month US treasuries, specifically 912796ZK8. Let's say it has a Yield of ~ 3.55%. Interactive Brokers requires 1% margin on this. Let's say I have a home loan of 2 million with 3.75% interest. Why wouldn't I buy 4 million of this Bond, hold...

Seems like I should have bought some too :) - can you give me some pointers for the next rally? How/When do u enter (VIX < 23 seems like reasonable now) How far out do you buy (delta and expiration)? How much overall portfolio delta do you hedge - e.g. if Delta is X - do you hedge half or more?
