I didn't realize they hedged their production every year. That's a drop in the bucket for typical government standards (or at least US), but nonetheless that's an awesome payout.

You could probably do some call spreads on USO or something if you are expecting a move up in oil. That might reduce your downside risk and still give you plenty of upside. A couple months ago I put on several uso call spreads for almost nothing. I would need oil to hit about $60 in the next 2...

Are any of you all looking to put on heating oil or nat gas spreads as we go into winter? I'm following the widow maker on NG (mar/apr), but haven't done anything on it. I am going to dig into the HO spreads some this evening and see if there are any good seasonal tendencies or potential spread...

That sure would be exciting lol time to buy some S&P calls

Which trade are you referring to? The NG spread is the only one I've regularly heard referred to as the widow maker but didn't know if you meant something you've mentioned prior. Thanks

Do many of you all use the ACD method intraday, or do you primarily focus on longer term? I'm new to the method, but definitely can see some potential with it.

So with all the global stuff going on, I have read several articles discussing Russia and how they seem to be changing their stance with Syria and trying to end their "diplomatic isolation". Am I correct that the ruble took a hard hit when everything was happening with oil as well as all the...

Cheerleader here! Lol. Bought back in with the rest of my retirement accounts that was still in cash on Friday and also had a short vol spread on that benefited.

Solid trade also, your on fire between CL and VIX! I just entered -feb/+mar this morning. Expecting it to come back up a bit, but we will see what happens.

This trade was based on the seasonal, right? Very nice trade!

Yeah, very good point. I got a small boost to my performance this year in my 401k by getting out before the big drop. I didn't get back in until things had already started moving back up though, as I was expecting more of a drop to continue. So not as much as I hoped for, but nonetheless...

Starting to wonder if it is time to move my funds back out of stocks in my 401k

Well, time to sell the house!

I didn't try ES, but I tried ZS,ZC, and one or two others without any issues for market depth (apart from having to copy and paste the line to another for some odd reason).

Did you use the first or second format you listed? Excel is of course different but what I used most closely resembled the first. I had to enter USD also. Idk. I'm sure it's different. Somebody im sure will be able to help.

Is it because the market is closed and no new data is coming in? Fwiw, I tried out the API through excel the other day and had an issue with getting error messages on the symbols. If I cut and pasted the same data to the next line on the market depth tab it worked fine. A bit quirky.

Looking at the 5 minute?

I recently upgraded my operating system and backed everything up to an external drive. Let me dig for it and see if I can find it. Edit: found it. Can't upload excel on here I don't believe. Just PM me your email address.

My school manages a portfolio for an organization around here as a class. ATVI is one of our largest tech holdings and also one of our best performing. We evaluated it a few weeks ago and the consensus between the class and professor was to hold it. If it continues up, we will have to sell a bit...

Yeah, I am fairly conservative on quite a few issues, but not everything. Having a kid at 19, working full-time, and going to school (my wife was in school full-time also), I get the issues of people not being able to support a family etc. My solution was to take a semester off and work two jobs...
