    Anyone runs trading as a family business

    thats a great question; but unfortunately unanswerable. on one hand there is what i "want" and what will really happen. there are 6 children ranging from 15 to 5 and i have no idea what they really want to do. as the setup exists right now there is room for at best 4 , but 2 would be optimum. to...

    VIX fly / spread journal

    speaking for myself; i endeavor to enter combo's as "edge entries". there is little edge in a straight out pair that needs a sell off. you want to line it up with another pair as you already know. the question is..can the lineup be an edge price that regardess of market direction it will earn...

    VIX fly / spread journal

    Yes, what has happened here is a disaster , much more for me than you. As you know this is all I have done for years and cannot walk away so easily. I am still waiting for you to fix this. :confused:

    VIX fly / spread journal

    ib tacks on a bit more than cfe but it still costs you nearly as much with your alternatives. the real issue is if you continue trading these can you trade these differently enough to still make it worthwhile?

    Trader P/L 2013

    as i last posted i needed vol. this is today's long vol covers. i hope i am not too premature but when es dived today i could not resist taking some profit. i still have my share of long vol but whats left is now a hedge to short vol instead of a trade on its own.

    ES Journal - 2013

    good luck pink, but i have no clue on vxx. i do expect vol to keep rising until boner and the pres settle up. today was not a winning day if that helps with my ultimate bias, lol
