I'm not the resident options expert, but I don't think you can lose this much by just buying calls.

Key difference is the ETF tracks something. If that something goes down, of course the ETF goes down. But Bitcoin can rise, and if those coins are stolen, the ETF crashes. So it's completely different.

I think destriero deserves credit for being as nice as he has ever been! . Honestly, compared to his other posts with other people, he treated Xela like gold.

I have a spreadsheet just for tracking what would have happened to the trade. I keep it simple with a couple of different stops and a few different targets. Then I have formulas set up to calculate what my PnL would be had I used that same set of R:R (ie. just add up the columns of different...

I think fundamentals still prevail, but the market now overshoots way more, holds onto hope much longer, and it takes longer for the truth to come out.

I have to say, I'm rather surprised. I would have expected something like this to really provide another boost. When Trump flaps his gums like this, it has always been positive. I know he already talked yesterday about how he wants a 4 in front of the number, so this wasn't exactly the best...

Sigh, I can't believe I actually wasted my time to load up this window in another browser so I could see the comments from schweiz. I find it comical that he is complaining about proof. "They will check everybody and decide is is troll and who is not. They don't have to proof anything." The...

In this world, everyone thinks they are more important than they really are. Its on full display based on the number of likes you have and the number of followers (ie. instagram) Its what's allowed all these seemingly useless companies to hits crazy valuations. I hope people figure out soon...

I believe that the ETF would have to hold bitcoins. They can vanish just like they have at bitcoin exchanges. One day, your ETF that you own might also go belly up. Contrast this with an ETF that holds stock/shares. They can't ever be stolen electronically.

I didn't even read most of what you wrote because its obvious that we are not having the same conversation. When you mentioned your log, the assumption is your log of trades, you know, as in an entry at a certain price and time and an exit. You do realize that when it comes to trading, you...

Oh yes, I see lots of diarrhea... "Price case gives permission or not to measure volume." LOL (how about permission to enter the market??) But I don't see a single trade called anywhere.

Exactly. I clicked everything on his profile, trying to see if he has a link to a website or a journal somewhere. I fully expected him to say the logs are, of course, not for public view.

Point being that you can't answer a simple question? You said you have logs, I asked where. If you meant your logs are not for public view, say that. If your logs are posted somewhere for people to read, go with this answer. Thus far, your answers don't add anything to the conversation.

And your logs are where?

So then its rather premature to say those things helped you.

Specifics please. What are you trading? Are you trading live or sim? Are you profitable? What is roughly your average win and average loss?

He can't see the big picture because he is one of them.

First up, I want to see @schweiz make 1-2 ES points with almost 100% win rate when his "system" goes into recovery mode. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/day-trading-and-sharpe-ratio.322726/page-6#post-4689295...

What I find interesting is much of this started with your trading competition. It was the pursuit of showing who can put their money where their mouth is that caused all of this to happen. Perhaps @Baron should implement some sort of changes where traders who actually trade, perhaps traders...

Totally agree with this assessment. When it comes to surf, he made one of the best blunders of all. He once posted a picture from an alias that actually had the co-ordinates of where the pic was taken embedded. Sure enough, it was exactly from where he supposedly lives. Nice view too! :D
