ok fair enough, I think you come off that way to this board maybe unintentionally, also I think it would be much more helpful to expound on what you believe works in the market vs telling others what doesn't. I would agree that to predict the future in financial terms is difficult, but don't all...

its pointless to argue with Surf as he never defines his terms and anyone who uses an indicator, follows a trend, is part of a cult. Worse he believes he is saving others, and his price drivers and subequent calls leaves one longing for the simplicity of a 50 day sma. Then there is the constant...

http://www.businessinsider.com/sac-capital-indicted-2013-7 interesting use of the word "edge" http://blogs.reuters.com/alison-frankel/files/2013/07/SAC-Indictment-Stamped.pdf

Carlos Danger.........ssshhhh! :D

ok I think I understand this. You are saying the terminal distribution or price at expiration overrides theta, is that correct?

"Two, theta for all practical purposes does not really exist. It's up there with the unicorn and the tooth fairy. The greeks were never created to measure sensitivity on individual issues. They were always meant to understand aggregate risk since aggregate risk is considerably more difficult to...

punting futures directionally is a tough way to go, add in undercapitalized? I always thought that the job of a prop firm was the training, the value add. It doesn't seem these guys are trained how not to lose. Max draw 3% with 8.5% profit target, not sure how realistic this is for new guys.

this move has my attention, dismal earnings but they still are a force to be reckoned with. This is an interesting vol play have no idea where it is headed by thinking a pair along with the qqq with 7 x 3 ratio, just an idea. Remember this guy is running the show...

Here is the problem, per the fed's dual mandate it is trying to inflate, in fact they are short of their current target of 1% and looking for close to 2% by 2015. Its right here: http://www.chicagofed.org/webpages/publications/speeches/our_dual_mandate.cfm see graph under consumer...

agree good summation of what's going on. Fed printing at minimum has and will have negative unintended consequences. If you look at the problems on the state level in the US you can see what's going on. Its pretty glaring because the states can't print to pay their obligations.

a lot of times when you identify a trend day waiting at least till the end of the day to put on a reversal position is helpful. Tomorrow is another day, insane move on nq today.

every trader has been there at one time or another, the powers that be caught alot of people short with this last move. :)

right I was trying to walk you thru the mindset. If you lost big on Silva for example its much easier to say he threw the fight than to admit you made a bad bet. I had a teacher who would always refrain "kill your ego" its that part that really wants and needs to be right. Let's face it it...

Smart players know what they don't know, gotta be careful throwing I KNOW around. How many times does someone watch a stock go up and say I knew that was gonna happen. Bias right, what's a fair bet, most would argue that the market is rigged because I am not successful at it, by that metric...

surf couldn't trade like risk on his best day, such a tool sometimes. All hat and no cattle!:D
