Thanks!

No low hanging fruit with the hedging approach...going to shelve it for now. I am going to focus on improving on what I am currently doing as I have attracted some institutional interest which could lead to something.

Your capital is $2000 and your yearly tech costs will be $1500. With those numbers, trading will be an expensive hobby for you. Honestly, with only $2000, don't waste your time with trading until you can earn some more trading capital.

I am going to experiment with a hedging strategy this week as time allows. The idea is that the strategy will have visibility into all open positions from all other strategies. When a position is in the red, it will use a rules based method for fading the position until the position is closed...

Sounds good. Will definitely hit you up next time I am in Vegas!!

Nice ride! Can we be friends?

But Hillary got almost 3 million more votes than Trump in 2016! :)

I was thinking the same thing about Biden until I saw him in the debate...he was looking quite old.

The Dems need the right candidate and they need some things to break their way (i.e. bad economy, significant scandal, etc). Trump is beatable but it is far from a given.

Ironically, I know a few ex-felons eagerly awaiting to cast their ballot for Trump in 2020.

I actually like this approach in that you seem to be willing to take some major heat on your S&P 500 position which is what is required for this strategy. As other's have stated, seems like your blind spot is risk control on your swing trading positions.

Man...we are making all time highs! The only thing ugly right now are traders who are shorting this market account balances.

What is the goal for this stage of the combine?

Exit 1 ES contract at 3011.25 +$1558.40

In other news...a trader from a multi-billion dollar hedge fund made a bet with a co-worker that he could place a trade with some "lose change" in the fund and get a bozo over at CNBC to write about it. He won the bet.

Good God! I can think of no worse hell than traveling to Walmarts across the country in search of junk I can mark up and sell on Amazon. I can picture it now....an old couple broke down outside of PoDunk, Mississippi trying to barter dental floss for RV repairs.

Doesn't look like it. Note the title of the account: Sim101
