Blotto definitely dropped some good knowledge! I actually came across that thread of yours when I was reading through all of his posts (including the ones from his second handle "ghost of blotto"). Good luck with the rest of the week, hopefully the bullish mania calms down (seems it has just a...

Woah! I remember going through a bunch of old posts and seeing the first thread you made as a beginning trader (“trading as a rationalist” from 2014). So awesome to see how far you’ve come since then. Very inspiring for a beginning trader like myself.

He's (s0mmi) the real deal that's why he's followed by a guy who trades over 100 million futures contracts a year and owns a trading company (garachen). I don't agree with that specific recommendation of his that you mentioned but so what? There's a lot of great stuff in those posts of his...

Check out @s0mmi ’s posts if you’re interested in spread trading. He made at least a couple million spread trading and worked with multiple 7 figure a year spread traders at the prop firm he traded at. He was mostly spread trading fixed income (like spread trading the 10 year t note against the...

Should have known you'd be aware of that stuff! My bad. But I think the info that feed provides could be useful for manual trading trading slower moving (maybe especially an extra thick market like ZN where there's a lot of stuff happening in the queue?) contracts on short term time horizons...

I believe those paying top dollar for direct market feeds get some extra goodies. "I'll list some of the features of some direct market feeds which aren't the same as the retail feed. --When 100 lot crosses the book you can see both the 100 lot and the number of passive orders it took out to...

This being the boss battle and this rate cut being the last health potion. Shoulda saved em. Fed done fucked up.

*when you use up all but one health potion before the big boss battle*

ES went all the way down to 2607.25! Up a little bit but still over a hundred points lower than at the close.

I found Tom Baldwin's EXACT P/L for 1987 in some legal documents (the case was about some unpaid taxes). "In 1987, petitioner earned $19,160,059 from his bond trading activity.". Only five years into trading too! Plus 19 million would have had about twice the buying power back then as opposed to...

For sure, no problem!

? I’m long, he’s short.

I went long at around 8710 on February the 28th but my position size is a drop in the bucket compared to yours. I plan to hold for quite awhile. Let's see how the cookie crumbles. What's your reasoning behind your position? It's fine if you don't want to share it but I thought I'd ask since for...

Nice quote, American Gods is fantastic. Was going through your posts from your old account the other day, thanks for sharing some of your insights! Interesting stuff.

@Bugenhagen are you former ET poster slartibartfast?

"What y'all thought y'all wasn't gonna see me? I'm the Osiris of this shit! Destriero is here forever, motherfuckers." glad you're back!

Damn, that’s too bad. Hope you return!

Here are my results for today ( from 6:35 to 7:40ish). Up 325 in the account to follow the competition. Up 1287.50 in another account this morning for practice (sim too). The comp one I took quite a few losses at the beginning of my morning session (around 6:40) and I revenge traded out of the...

Damn, that's too bad. Hope it heals relatively quick. Awesome trading though!
