I like to remark now and then; "there's lots of way to get to NYC" (from southern ct) I believe that a mentor can really help if said person is clearly legit. I had a person who I was lucky enough to connect with and offered some pathways. It was me being a pain in the ass but I wore him down...

when they extend their hours thats gonna be another problem. that last f up had nothing to do with any market bias either. i'll test the waters with advantage.

+$6020 hey caveman, its unrealized..no worries yet.

sle, second q first; it was a cfe issue..reported by many media outlets. none of my stuff was in actuality against me..especially considering i am very balanced in vol exposure. whatever happened, ib was quoting stuff crazy...like i had on some futs $31,000,000 against me..then similar for me...

+$3364 its a slow grind..but much better day

put, that was a margin calculation ERROR in ib. completely different situation than you are assuming. it was due to the cfe issues. i had a neg liq value also, was in a mild panic also cause i know how ib can auto liq..but in 2 minutes it started clearing up.

hey mac, i'm not comfortable with it either, lol. i manage no different than most. today was not a positive either. before today i was mtm up over 5% for nov too. i plan on posting Q4 results (like i have done all yr) so u can see my dd's, etc.

unrealized trading account losses 11/6 -$60,629 i do expect positive closes in time.

i think he is another troll...

i do. the long outright future is too directionally dependent; especially for me.

all your points make sense. the thing with vix curve trading is that although the expected gains imo come far more often than other types of trading..you may have to wait longer than a trader mentality would prefer. and the long vol at the front end is nice but i would prefer to have it in a...

just got a genset for house..using cell tethered internet running well here. i'm posting a lot less due to such a low level of posters here who cannot follow thread rules. i guess i can post my quarter results; but until a better quality of poster shows up..i will just step aside...

I'm 15 minutes from greenwich. There will be no one in the tri state area going to the office on monday and most likely tuesday. All transit is closed and most coastal towns have mandatory evac.

Good luck, the flies here need patience. If term structure holds the steep slope (and even if it flattens you still can earn in time) , hang in there.

is that your photoshop?? lol romney will win OH!

I'm sorry I never looked at or traded those products. Pretty much don't trade direction anymore unless I see a real solid mean reversion trade. Also, imo vix follows market moves...never a tell or leading indicator at all. Good luck.

Ammo, love the recent charts. From reading the weekend posts are most of you guys looking to short (or already short?) es as opposed to long positions?

great call..hope you really did those.

10-18 -$938.99 thank you gmst. i trade vix futures in combo's of sorts. can't really go any further..but for me..its very hard work. in certain months i do find liquidity problems..but its getting easier as volumes rise. cash in the account i keep to a minimum for lots of reasons..i...

surf, don't make assumptions about my motives or put words in my mouth. i have said why i am posting as i do. you are an instigator for selfish reasons. you mock and misrepresent what good traders say..including myself. guys who actually make a living trading show up here less and less not...
