So you are short oil?

Vol is cyclical. The next two years will see a return to a more normal vol structure but after the transition to the lost decade vol will start to bleed down again.

The markets look very normal in ACD land. We made a monthly A down in Feb. We only made one monthly A down all of last year and that was in August. March was a consolidation month and I suspect April will be as well. Both the monthly and QTR A down are at 2500. I think it's a safe bet we...

By trading well, it's kind of like saying to play sports you need to be a good athlete to start. Talent won't help much if you don't have the fundamental skills needed. To me the basic raw fundamental skills of a good trader is one that is not emotional, very disciplined, patient, and...

A couple of reasons. One, ACD is meant to help traders make informed decisions. This includes filtering asset classes, looking for relative value, and spotting rare opportunities. You still have to trade the product well, but ACD will improve upon that process. Another issue is momentum...

I agree for learning how to use the software properly, using a sim is fine. But emotions create action both good and bad. He needs to learn how to trade. Losing real money is one of the biggest motivators to putting in real work. Right now this guy is just starting 100 threads a day asking...

Without emotions it's useless. Especially for daytrading.

Agree, papertrading is useless. Just trade real money but trade small. You can trade one share of SPY if you want.

You're right. Trading probably requires FAR more than 10,000 hours.

Jeffrey Gundlach will be on the Halftime Report today on CNBC. Should be interesting to hear his thoughts on rates and commodities.

I don't agree with that. They have stated for years that they were bleeding from 2009 to 2016 with the exception of that spike in jan of 2016. I have watched interviews were Mark stated the fund was losing money during those lean years. I don't know where you are getting this idea that all...

OK, so I have an issue with this. Say you were an investor with Universa. And you read some article where they are stating they made X and you know they made Y. One, you could sue them. Two, you would certainly pull your money out. And three, they would be in violation of countless...

TAIL is a simple rules based ETF with no leverage. It's not as robust as perhaps a true hedge fund and why would it be. It just gives you something to look at since most hedge funds in this space don't publicly report their numbers.

That was me. The ticker is TAIL. It has only be around for about 10 months.

That is not correct. They do not provide the long component. They don't care what you do with your assets. You are paying them to insure x% of your portfolio. You could be long bitcoin for all they care.

They claimed 100%.
