    Can I keep my Sharpe ratio higher then 3 for a second year??

    can i ask, as respectfully as possible, what is the point of the thread if no strategy, instrument, or anything else (besides what the sharpe ratio is that day) will be discussed? if it is purely to track your sharpe, why not keep it written down on a piece of paper? if you advertise it...

    good for you - glad u can make some money (i hope i stemmed the idea) it includes comission, i add 1bp on my entry/exit post to account for them. (it actually ends up overstating comission)

    VIX fly / spread journal

    yeah it is a bit disheartening that the trade looks so obvious to do here. where do u get that news from? do you agree that it is an inexpensive way to be long convexity? do you have the opposite position on?

    VIX fly / spread journal

    i closed the apr/may today at 0.68 in the morning. i made 0.15 on this one. not sure if i reported it, but i had lost 45bp on the feb/mar. i am off my high, but the account is still up 8% from the start of the journal.. soon enough i'll just start posting blotters/account balances since...
