The more I read this thread, the more I think that all futures traders should run as fast as they can from IB. WTF?

If the trader had been "hedged" in a three part CL butterfly, or a four part CL condor, could he have mitigated (or avoided) total capital destruction? 77K is a lot of money for a retail trader to lose. Yeah, he might be relieved that he doesn't owe 9 million dollars, but 77K is still a tough...

You can thank "dollar cost averaging" or Martingale trading strategy for that.

That's the vibe I felt, and the alt-right stench I smelled.

Most of the comments in the Zero Hedge article are disgusting. People over there come across as jaded people who failed at trading and take great joy that the trader lost 77k. Most of the members over there suck.

I don't have a problem with public universities receiving money from the government. However, I have problem with private institutions like Harvard receiving COVID-19 bailout money.

I heard the following quote from someone, I can't remember who:

I am having difficulty charting a futures condor in TOS. Previously, I was having difficulty charting a butterfly, but found the order symbols on TastyTrade webpage (/CLV4 - 2*/CLX4 + /CLZ4). I haven't been so lucky finding the order of symbols for a condor. Also, I trade bond butterflys, and...

I never mentioned anything about documentation. Maybe you should reread the comment.

That will come as a disappointment to the silly conspiracy theorists.

Why do you insist on using the pejorative "hiding?" I makes you come across as childish. No one is hiding. People are abiding by stay at home orders. We are a nation of laws, right?

You sound like this guy: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8239557/Ohio-man-60-blasted-COVID-19-lockdown-political-ploy-dies-contracting-coronavirus.html

We can live with being taxed later. Many can't live with starving, now.

Well, if the government is mandating that private businesses close, then it should subsidize those businesses and employees as well. It's not hard-- all they need to do is "print money," right? But wait, that's Socialism. We can't have that, under no circumstances, right? Well, unless it's 2008.

If you want to be reckless with your health, then do so. Just don't encourage others to do the same.

I am no talking about the lock down. I am talking a system that is ill prepared to deal with a novel virus, a lock down and social distancing? As was mentioned, government workers aren't part of the ranks of the unemployed. Why is that? Why doesn't private sector workers have the same...

Lockdowns are a tough pill to swallow. Is there a better way to combat the virus without a vaccine? Is there a better way to block the virus' path of transmission? There are only two choices here: "lock down" or elect for "herd immunity." I don't want to catch a novel virus that attacks...

And who/what is responsible for this disgusting situation?

Of course not. There is a bit of sarcasm in my post. However, there is some truth in sarcasm. Do you think if auditors observed anonymously, they wouldn't find a couple of instances of what I wrote?

I shudder think what many of these employees do in an eight hour day. I suspect a typical goes like this: 9:30 - 10:00: Arrive at work an hour late. 10:00 - 11:00: Check org email, check social media messages, reply to both. 11:00 - 1:00: Lunch. 1:00 - 2:00: Attend org meetings. 2:00 -...
