LOL Pekelo, nice to see you are keeping a sense of humor about this! Truthfully I would have said the exact same thing you did back in Mayish 2017. Heck, I'd short those same ones today! Plus, given that we still have a couple months to go, let's see how this crash plays out on the FANGs and...

Thanks Error Correction Funder! Interesting, "layering" is kinda-sorta what I was talking about, but it apparently is to give the impression of liquidity in the market, not of demand or supply.

Understood gerr33git. But how can I view the trades this trader made? Just looking at your post I have no idea how to see them. Thanks.

That video is all well and good, but what is the magical 1% of portfolio tail hedge? I just find it a little hard to believe that you can implement this magical tail hedge and avoid all the big crashes yet catch all the big upside. I want to believe, but just seems impossible. By the way...

Who are we talking about here?

They are saying this in the midst of a potrntial trade war? Seems a funny time to come out with this.

Oh I hear you Pakelo. No doubt. Wikepedia pretty much says as much.

Just read up on him, and he seems to be a pretty successful and smart guy. From wikepedia: His first non-technical book, Fooled by Randomness, about the underestimation of the role of randomness in life, published in 2001, was selected by Fortune as one of the smartest 75 books known.[46] His...

I was listening a podcast recommended from an ETer, and they were interviewing a guy that has done nothing but traded for a living. Anyways, at one point in the interview, the host asked this guy apparently whether he has ever played games with the level 2 quotes. I'm paraphrasing obviously...

Thank you JSOP. That makes complete sense.

Suntrader, many thanks. I'm trying to understand the chart you posted. What do the drawn horizontal lines represent? Thanks!

So take like TVIX, VIIX, etc. Anything based on the VIX. Does any kind of charting really make any sense? Its different from a stock or even a typical index, in that it is an implied volatility based on S&P options I believe. Since it is derived from something else, and that something else...

Is this stuff THE stuff of the future??? I just can't believe it.

Just curious sss12 - are you bull Taleb, or bear? I sense bull. Thanks!

OK mate, I'll google him. Was just interested in ETs view of him - just saw some off comments here and there. Will check him out. Thanks.

So if someone has caught onto the methods this guy was using, can one think out further and try and get ahead of THEM? Maybe if like you look back at stuff that has worked over the last decade, and figure that tons of people are now trying that, its been had, and just DO THE OPPOSITE...

Haha what I was trying so say but much, much more eloquent! :)

Yes this is,a very pertinent question. its rough as heck being whipsawed.

Who is this guy? ETers seem to have a fascination about him which borders on a strong disgust! Seem ok in the interview.

VERY interesting post southall, thanks! Good lord that '29 drop was BRUTAL!
