Please allow me to butt in. I did know about those options, looked at Mulvaney and Dunn and invested in Dunn for a short period and then got out last year at broadly flat, just to watch their fund rocket up almost 60 pct this year. I much prefer my own system to anyone elses not because it may...

FWIW - not completely different compounded equity curve to date, with not nearly as impressive SR of 1.35. Holding 40 instruments and current capital just north of $1M. My 'large trader' position of Micro Ether (>25 cts) has now contributed $100.

Kudos to you and Hobbytrading who keep taking money out. I switched to full compounding a couple of years ago on the basis the expected SR of the system justified the extra juice potentially available, although these benefits if they materialise come at the cost of the hair on my head. I am...

Hard last few days, virtually every move in the market went against my positions. But I guess I have only myself to blame, as just prior to the move I was guilty of having the idea to post about the great September I just thad. I am curious how everyone else has fared, including the dynamic...

Oops, very sorry. I of course meant Newbunch.

You are right KevinBB, I just remembered why I chose the micro - the ether futures size is 500 times the micro contract. This has been a useful discussion I think I will add a config setting of reportable sizes to my instrument config parameters and write some code to alert me if I am about to...

I got to -37 before they contacted me. I haven't registered on the portal yet (the first step). Was the form filling relatively painless?

The CFTC have their own site here. Presumably they both contain the same info. You are right the contract quantity not notional is the thing that CFTC seems to watch based on their estimate of market size. I guess I'll switch to regular Ether futures, not sure why I even bothered with the...

Actually my first thought was this must be in error so I wrote this afternoon to the CFTC asking for more information and got a prompt response. If you want to know what is required to become a major player with the CFTC go trade micro-ether futures, the trigger for being classified as a "large...

Anyone else ever seen one of these? I am pretty sure that a couple of cotton contracts (largest nr of contracts I hold in a deliverable commodity) doesn't constitute a large reportable position but I received this notice today. "Dear Sir/Madam: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the...

Yup just went long VIX myself today thanks primarily to this somewhat unusual state of affairs.

GAT - your information sharing is already a great advertisement for people to put in the hours and get involved in the automated TF/Carry space, but for the cynical who might want you to show them the money, this data certainly completes the circle :strong:

I had the same experience today, but without the +10.4% last week. Up about 10% for the year currently which appears to be less than the average announced on this thread. Talking about fundseeder, I know their biz strat has evolved, but has anyone ever got funded there?

Hats off, this is heroic compared to my anemic performance so far this year, which is ~ +4%. I have experienced some incredible up days (+7%) and down days fully cancelling those up days and more. The volatility has of course been emotionally draining, and served only to compound the news...

Scraped of course, you taught me the value of automation ;)

I am developing a risk overlay which closes my positions when someone on this thread relays joy on their account curve uptick. Obviously scaled to reflect the level of joy expressed (20 = flat portfolio).

Down 70bps. Flat on long only equities.

Very nice. Although it all turned pear shaped around the time of these posts ...reminds me of that scene towards the end of Indiana Jones, when the raiders look with glee into the Lost Ark for the first time :)

Hi GAT - Finished listening to the latest marathon TTU podcast, which was great as usual. Not sure why there is even a debate on the best approach between you and Jerry, I know which side I fall on, but the tension (simulated or otherwise) makes the whole thing more entertaining :sneaky...
