    dest's daily PNL thread

    Blotto definitely dropped some good knowledge! I actually came across that thread of yours when I was reading through all of his posts (including the ones from his second handle "ghost of blotto").

    dest's daily PNL thread

    Woah! I remember going through a bunch of old posts and seeing the first thread you made as a beginning trader (“trading as a rationalist” from 2014). So awesome to see how far you’ve come since then. Very inspiring for a beginning trader like myself.

    Can you help me understand spread treading?

    He's (s0mmi) the real deal that's why he's followed by a guy who trades over 100 million futures contracts a year and owns a trading company (garachen). I don't agree with that specific recommendation of his that you mentioned but so what? There's a lot of great stuff in those posts of his...

    Can you help me understand spread treading?

    Check out @s0mmi ’s posts if you’re interested in spread trading. He made at least a couple million spread trading and worked with multiple 7 figure a year spread traders at the prop firm he traded at.

    NYMEX WTI Jun20 -50 strike puts trade for a tick!

    Should have known you'd be aware of that stuff! My bad. But I think the info that feed provides could be useful for manual trading trading slower moving (maybe especially an extra thick market like ZN where there's a lot of stuff happening in the queue?) contracts on short term time horizons...

    I believe those paying top dollar for direct market feeds get some extra goodies. "I'll list some of the features of some direct market feeds which aren't the same as the retail feed. --When 100 lot crosses the book you can see both the 100 lot and the number of passive orders it took out to...

    Most successful profitable day trader?

    I found Tom Baldwin's EXACT P/L for 1987 in some legal documents (the case was about some unpaid taxes). "In 1987, petitioner earned $19,160,059 from his bond trading activity.".
