IMO, don't put colocation on such a high pedestal. It's not as expensive as people think, just do it.

Prop traders generally have a risk check the Knight scenario is fairly unlikely. A firm that doesn't let you trade outside the office is really strange. I trade colocated most of the time but I'm usually in the office. A lot of guys trade from home too. You should be able to do what ever you...

I'm seeing the same close price. I believe the options are settled based on the arca close, but it would show up on a chart

I think to be an aggressive short seller you need a high pain tolerance. These things are whippy.

It would be great if you continued posting. I learned a lot from the journal. Hope you're surviving the low vol

I think I've heard you say you're almost always a touch long vol. It seems like a good idea

Can anyone recommend a good news feed? I've tried flyonthewall and briefing but they seem to be really slow, as in stories are late several minutes or not even shown. Is bloomber/reuters the only the way to get stories in a real time fashion?

I'd also be interested in a similar etf for interest rates

I think he's just testing percent profitable if the targets and stops are equidistant. Doesn't it make sense that the chart should flatline? Isn't it charting number of trades and % winners?

Isn't it more difficult to maintain a short delta neutral portfolio than a long portfolio? Say you have a long straddle. It seems like it can be dynamically hedged by posting passive limit orders on the underlying meaning you can hedge as fast as the underlying trades. While a short straddle...

Sorry, meant the specific edge, not your trading capabilities in general

If the edge is lost would you mind enlightening the uninformed? ;)

A couple guys talked about that. I don't understand why short ETN, long CBE would be better than short CBE and cover.

I'm guessing you weren't long CBE

Yeah just trade. Estimating back test fills is a pain so just do it for real.
