Sciabrino, Thank you for the sound advice. I will consider what you have said and take what I can from it. As I stated earlier, what I am really trying to gain from this journal is a better sense of my capabilities, while generating further experience in risk management. I do understand...

Ozzie, Thank you for the encouragement. It has been a rough week of swings. I will update my portfolio shortly with my MTM at Friday. I have been keeping track of performance for a month now and am more than happy with the return generated, just upset about the swings. This journal...

ROCKN, You sure are heavily LONG. It seems like you for the most part are buying very out of the money calls, a heavily bullish portfolio- this is very different from my portfolio- your 70% returns are amazing. My personal concern, if I had this degree of long leverage, would be any kind...

This is the end of the month for the Journal, current account is showing a yield of 7.5% for the month, with more of a swing than I like. I had actually been up about 11 or so percent at one point, showing a deviation much greater than I'd ideally like to deal with. My swing has been...

I have gone to two interviews there, and have had a friend work there. He was actually let go after about a year and a half or so and now trades for another large prop operation. From what I gathered and what I have been told, this is a totally legit and somewhat professional (depending on...
