Sell the opening pop

I am always amazed by threads like this and responses that say "guide your trading strategy accordingly", as if your position at the time of nuclear holocaust would matter as you leave the planet. I always figured that you keep playing the game till you win it all, or when the guy whose ball it...

this proposal should morph into a tax on shorts, and then you would get a reinflation of the market, as we could only scalp effectively from the long side

In 2004, a fund of funds, allocated some money my way. I had great returns for about 9 months, i was up around 150% for the year. Had a real bad oct/nov, scrambled back in december, and ended up with a 96% return for the year. Had a meeting with the fund of funds guy in January 2005 His...

I guess if your theory is that not posting on et equates with non trading success, maybe i should post more than once every 2 years. I still read this site at night sometimes, but this one was so stupid i felt compelled to comment.

But those results are on only a measly return of 100% per month every month. Thats a bad month for most of the boys here according to their posts. Gee, I wish I could be as good, one day. Ah, per chance to dream, to hit the big time one day.

jeff g and i are still tight; i think my lawyers would have problems with answering your other question on a public forum; would cause problems i think with sec rules- but, again, the word recoup was used, as i was getting blasted the two weeks prior- although my year to date return , thank...

rumor has it that recently he has just been throwing up. at least until he got the 20 handle move down last week which recouped him 10 million or so. at least thats the rumor from an uninformed source.

maybe lets make it a half a million or so entry fee, and lets change the time period instead of now, to the march through june period of 2007, and i might be interested. 4th quarter is not my time to trade full time, jewish holidays, wacky end of year runups, doesn't fit my style. but give...

the lead on a spanish novella.

I'm not sure what blotter Cobalt posted, but if what was posted led you to believe that I was short a ton of naked at the money puts for the last quarter, then what wasnt posted was my short es futures position which i had gotten short between 1600-3600 of at an average of around 1326 (the...

Mr. Risk Arb, You asked a month or so ago what would happen to tiv if the sp's dropped 70 points. Well, they have dropped 80 pts since then, and rumor has it that he is the #1 performer in the country for the year.

when i first started trading for a firm in 1988 on wall street, there was an older guy who sat next to me who was the greatest chart reader in the world. great trader married 4 times. as a younger guy,i couldn't figure out why a guy making all that money would ever have such problems in his...

if i told you guys how i do it, i'm sure you would figure out 40 reasons why i am a bad trader. maybe one day i can be a bigshot like you guys, or better yet, i think i will just remain G-d's Trader.

problem with the weekly's is that i'm 70% of the volume on them; and the mm moves away the second i put an order in. is a useful tool though, as it gives you cheap leverage and hedging capacity.

ok, so i got lucky again, big deal, Baruch Hashem. i give it all away anyway. well, most of it. well, a lot of it.

somebody must have gotten really lucky, don't you think

steve, that is great trading. its funny that anybody would ever question that; that % return speaks for itself. Great job.

i think that guy TIV doesn't have a clue about what he is doing; luckiest sob on the face of the trading planet- i heard that he thinks G-D tells him what to do. What a nut, huh.
