Marty, Can I like your post 2x? Lol bingo

never suggested that, i was talking in general. personally i have found trading out of shocks to be the most rewarding.

"commercial" is a trader or entity who has been classified as using that "particular" instrument for hedging purposes.

to really give the whole story i would suggest looking at the complete report, including commercial. this has been lopsided many times to the non commercial end re short vol ; but despite that most will find no edge in fading that. http://www.cftc.gov/dea/futures/deacboelf.htm

not at all..count me as one of the early adopters on SSD and enjoy reading your posts.

Sle, with all due respect the trader was not blown up on long tail puts...he changed the trade with delta hedging , etc..that's what blew him up. I have done in the past with vx spreads...do a long vol fly, then Frankenstein it by reducing the long vol wing planning on putting them back on in...

You were getting most likely the Sept future quote..not spot

Speads np Vx Sept Oct is vxw1u in DOM for instance Charting seems to work although I have no use for it. All I trade are spreads through q trader so it works just fine.

The premium to spot is a legacy from brexit vol last month. It's more in line now for august and September ..nothing unique at all.

I guess nitro has come a long way from posting nuclear explosion pictures regrading the future market direction. Of course the market went straight up from there and the thread ultimately went to chit chat. Now volatility is dead? Lol.....I think it's time to fade you yet again!

gotcha; i concur with the time, modeling etc needed. i will diverge with you that there are no guys who have done the steps necessary to make it. that time/modeling, maths needed precludes me from posting a lot!

mav; on friday u wrote "So out of the 40 something traders I over saw how many of them made money? None. How many of them blew out their accounts? Almost all" then your last post you mentioned at worldco..you sat next to more big traders than anywhere not an investment bank" can you clarify a...

re TA; i personally have half a dozen close friends and family work for institutions on the street..from citibank sales, Maxim, MKM, to private hedgefunds...i talk to them daily and visit a lot. they all use it in some capacity to help craft market direction opinions. sometimes it plays a...

lol, of course. in retrospect, the guy was a fruitcake from the start.

EP and also to DES , just focus on the trade EP quoted: I'm out of my element talking about outright direction as you both know...but from my vantage point..it's entirely possible CL shares (sic) never see 33.xxx again foooorever , so not having a stop leave you with unlimited losses; how...

Can I 'like' that 5 times?

Little boy in your mom's basement you have nothing...just as I knew. I bet surfs $93 account trumps yours, lol

You are a child with merely words, trying to make yourself feel good. Post a pnl screenshot big guy ...and I may add D08 and myself have done so countless times in dedicated threads...so show us how superior you are mr in the know

dude, i can't stand surf with the best of them but the personal attack is childish. i'm sure you are not a 10 at certain times of the day; and/or if u have a significant other they are no 10 either. plus getting old is better than the alternative. regarding stops; i strictly trade vol futures...

good luck again..i'm with u there also via the fly
