What?? That i was short UJ? That profit didnt hurt me one bit

JPY cross pair skyrocketing while US10y yields falling hard. Yeah, that's going to be sustainable :) Added to this position, same size. Averaged down, so to speak. Yield @ 4.48% EURJPY @ 163.08

and close.

And close.

2 losses so far. Changing entries since BOTH trade higher and i want to take advantage of higher RR So new entries are: SPX 4420 EURJPY 162.72 SL's are the same, 40 and 50. Targets also the same, so RR has increased now. Cheers.

Start buying with size and you'll see a top. I'm not kidding. Retail is selling like mad and one by one stops gets triggered upside. NOONE is buying this here long term so the "buying" that you see is pure stop orders (interest) on the upside. Leveraged selling is matched by unleveraged...

depends what you mean by unrealistic conditions but daily drawdowns aren't one of them. Even trailing drawdown isn't one of them. Choosing a 100k account with E2T has a daily drawdown of 2200 usd. That's 4400 ticks with the Nasdaq micro. Choosing 200k account has double that. So, that isn't a...

Again, i'm trying to understand how are you having a successful system when i read your first post. How can a trading of 1 micro lot cause you any problems with daily loss limits? Also, you said you trade intraday? And can have a 80 pip drawdown intraday? Surely, this isn't SP500 you're talking...

20% a year consistenly for 40 years and you are a nr1 Hedge Fund in the world. It'd be absolutely paramount to consider OPM and make 100M's not a mere 1.5M in that case :)

I don't think trading a 200k account with 1 micro lot (MES) futures should cause you over leveraged problems.

Yeah, waiting for confirmation is expensive. Think about it, if market always moved AND provided liquidity at the same time then everybody would be a millionaire by just following the move. So, the market offsets this by ranging every now and then. Schizo gave some good hints, though.

Wait, did you just say you KNEW interest rates were to rise? Cause if i understand this correctly you're referring to 2 different times. So technically you were just "long yield"? Am i correct? But what if interest rates would'nt have risen?

The bet isn't that they will necessarily diverge, but that one or both will DECLINE.

Just something i've noticed with intermarket analysis. Two risk assets like those have a hard time moving together. Not to say they can't but if you already have a strong period of moving together so now it makes sense to "diverge". We'll see. PS. It requires a good amount of discretion to...

CD's get you more interest rate than you pay for a bank loan? How so? :)

I'm trying to understand this. Are these long OTM calls, short ATM puts and long OTM puts ?

what is it you are hoping to find that you won't find analyzing the last 250 trading days, though?

what broker was that, if i may ask

I'm talking within the context of risk pricing and how created money changes risk profiles. There is noone willing to lend their hard earned money during desperate times so we cleverly introduce money that noone ever had to work for. Hence, why i call it "money that has an hour price of 0" How...

Based on stat analysis. Short straddle at 151.50
