surf, you are something else..your poor spelling/grammar pales to the level of nonsense..at least fix some of the spelling!! all i can say is i thank my Lord i do not trade such binary directions.

i'm trading small until i can fade a -5 es...then watch out!! small loss today in trades. MTM on account way up though.

selling vol is much more fun, but you can own tail risk vol at the same time. i feel for you guys shorting this move. in a normal market you would be fine ..even as it trended higher..but this is not normal. i would suggest identifying the market realities (and not what you think should be...

no talk like "we (lol) see the mother of all drops coming" this is simply no phoney nonsense, grind out earnings through hard work...something i am pretty good at.

lol, u mean IMF world growth "downgrade"?

not to defend a paper trade...but if you are any kind of trader you know stopping out is part of the game. trying to humiliate him further is like beating a dead horse.

boring day after a week away

what would it matter if he had funds left? he clearly could not trade. cover up losses for years, while continuing to suck in sucka's with amazing deceits..lol funds for trading would be a waste. if anything, he has edge in setting up new ventures that he may be able to earn off of until...

Surf, I have owned with my sister family a door man entry only beach front high rise condo in pompano for years..it may not be palm beach...but I suggest highly security...that is if you can afford it. Florida for me is an escape from Connecticut winters..that's the only reason I go there...

i for one would rather put up more capital and have possibly wider price ranges. i hope that comes to pass.. also..your advice is very good..its time to move on from ib.

i was trading them for .50 to .85 gain in size and was thinking what money i was making..wild good fills, etc..on one of those gold vol weeks early on...but couldn't find the 850 bucks per spread gain in my PnL...i was wtf...then i read a little and was massively dejected to find it was a mini...

gvz is a mini size contract..i traded it many times..but its waste of time until more liquidity can come in. being a mini imo is what prevents true players...but u can trade it; and yes..there is huge edge in that curve.

never opm and never worked for another...just will be more selective and work different vol curves..and possibly live on less usa cash.

he just called..live on close, press release any time on cfe site. as an eternal optimist, i hold out hope rally has some point to this...but still i flattened in to less size.

I talked to the guy who put out that circular...he was timid, clueless and odd. U can surely afford to make some calls from the local cafe..cmon! $8,000 margin per fly long vol? There clearly needs to be people there who understand risk measures ..

Rally I emailed u this morning..permit holder margin circular gets it first apparently.. u most certainly have it in your inbox. I was on phone half the morning with CFE..they confirmed it. I can resend if u need it. This is a game changer if they implement. All day today I reduced. Shout...

message boards for traders can be good to help with the sometime boredom of trading...but as you said ...those guys who you think are earning..yet post little...there is a simple reason for that. if you truly have an edge of any kind in trading, you know how hard that is to find....there is...

this is nearly 3 weeks of work closed. i truly hope all the talking heads who are yapping about this " new vol " that we will now have going forward does not jinx it to oblivion. and those who have been posting recently..nice job navigating these swings!

there is a supply and demand issue you may be missing. they do not react fully correlated to spx or simply because spot moved down today. a day trader mentality does not serve well imo also. in any case with a higher floor in vol i see at the very least more opportunities..maybe not true...

Matt, as the most prolific blotter poster on et for yrs..I have asked him countless times to post just one little shot of the YM short. I'm glad some guys have also caught on...a blotter shot matters when you have a thread like this..otherwise its just hot air bullshit. I disagree very much...
