arbs, i like u a lot over here ; but damn..mav is 1000% correct in this instance "imo". the bet is dumb (as are all bets). a screenshot would be the right way to settle the issue. of course, i am biased myself to screenshots, lol

attention is my guess

CQG for now ..soon it will be TT.

at advantage i get a lot more bang for my buck (margins are way lower), no auto liquidate , a human answers all calls, etc. my commissions are much lower also. it looks like i will end up settling on TT autospreader once i get most funds over there. i did not take this move lightly as i have...

ok, although the year is not quite over i'll go over some points since i will be busy traveling from now to early january. the year was lousy to what i have been used to for years due to low vol; but around september to now it has come up ever so slightly helping my marks in Q4. november...

Better you do a quick search on some of my posts..I truly hate to clutter his thread on OT stuff. With that said, if this thread was started by a new et member, it would have been closed by now.

nitro, consider you have the wrong product for mean reversion and/or your system needs tweaking if u decide to run these paper trades longer.

yeah man, i know its slow out there and i never said it should not be posted. obviously news is a subjective field nowadays. sykes is from my area so i have an extra interest and u are aware how i have a thing for scammers overall. selling the dream will never ever go away no matter how many...

mav, sykes is a scumbag is every sense of the word. shame on you for not noting the reuters "article" is a paid press release. as to cnn if its a real article; the author will soon figure out he had been "had".

Omg surf, That was a paid press release Zero to do with reuters U guys are pathetic

Wow, great entertainment while I enjoyed my Starbucks skinny peppermint mocha, thanks guys!

i never saw 51, as i closed @ 70 cents on "some inventory"(from 185) 952:51 am est also, in the context of front spread trading i personally agree with rally thats its crazy and random; but i'm pretty sure most who trade this including gills is not simply trading front alone. yes, you...

gosh..he made like 30 cents in a few days. why attack so much? i stand by my belief there was always little downside but a ton of upside in the trade, even as isolated.

nice job..i covered a bunch of long dec vol at very good gains also.

simmer down "dude" its ok...i would not say gills intentionally mislead us ...plus i'm sure he will detail how he did next week. i love rally more than most; but i have to say being my own man i'm long dec vol pretty big (and that was well before his post!) despite his reservations.

What gills is looking for is convergence of his short vol in his book while banking Dec vix not dropping any more. Dec Jan as a stand alone trade taken right now I would not do at this time to expiration but in the context of a deeper book then fine...and he does not need a selloff to earn. If...

Yes, very well done! Thanks for updating and I hope your son uses it well in the future.

yes, if u have a book of long and short vol thats great..of course its an art to make it earn overall. good luck.

do you ever hedge a short vol trade like that?

Honest to God, are you mentally challenged? I see a lot of sad people here but you have to be near the top.
