Here is a struggling E-Mini (CL, GC, ES, NQ) daytrader who finally had a break-even year in 2019. https://mbagearhead.blogspot.com/ Note: 4 losing years in a row followed by a breakeven year ! How is this guy living with no profits ? He must have started with a really large account balance. This...

Of course.....it''s a tremendously time-consuming and detailed endeavor.

Ah...no one wants to spend the time and resources on tracking B1S2's trading results ? Best in 2020 then to ignore his trade proclamations.

Well Mick, one option to make sure the trades are real is to start auditing B1S2's calls in 2020.

Wow, thanks for that Zandty....there is lots to absorb here. Here are some comments: #1: China vs USA may go on forever. Thanks to previous weak administrations, China has obtained certain advantages they don't want to relinquish now. China is acting like a spoiled child. #4: Crude oil - I like...

In the October pullback, the VIX poked thru 20...and then reverted back to the teens. So that was a great call on your part. However, had the pullback turned into a nasty reversal, your VIX shorts would have been crushed...and thus lowering the return on your short ES position. My point is...

I'm curious....HOW exactly did you hedge your short position ? With options ? Hedging implies a lower rate of return, so essentially your shorts had a much lower positive PnL impact during that dip than could be expected. Correct ?

Pretty impressive...that's nearly $32k per contract. With 5 contracts, one could live on that pretty well.

Indeed....someone needs to explain in plain English the FED's actions both with regard to their REPOS activity as well as their management of the Fed Funds rate.

A big event has just occurred: The yield curve has started to go back to normal, so who's going to take credit for that ? The FED, of course. They will be on their "high horses" until their next policy decision. Jerome Powell is now like Chris Hemsworth in Thor : invincible...

Given the nature, outcome, and timeline of the Phase 1 negotiations, Phase 2 will drag on till way, WAY after the 2020 election results.

It's a great measure of market fear or complacency.....there are futures on it: https://cfe.cboe.com/cfe-products/vx-cboe-volatility-index-vix-futures and even options on the VIX: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VIXY/options/ making them super-derivatives....derivatives of a derivative.

Perhaps, but this is a chicken vs. egg situation. Which came first : The drop in the index or the run-up of gamma ? Also, the put sellers needed only to cover their positions instead of selling the index. Alternatively they could have sold call options.

Just curious....before taking on this mammoth task of creating your own trading platform, did you first get a chance to review Ninja Trader ? I am not a subscriber, but I've witnessed some really impressive charting and indicators using it.

That something is a weak trade deal with China. Trump initially said he would only do a "great" deal for the USA. Looks like that was B.S.

My only question is : What happens when the tariff mania is over ?

That's all Trump needs....another showdown with North Korea. He has enough on his plate....impeachment, the Fed, the Chinese, the farmers, 2020 election.

Does the CME waive the exchange fees for this program I wonder ?

From a recent edition of Bloomberg Businessweek magazine....re: trade talks: "What began as a well-plotted strategy to force China to an even playing field for U.S. Exporters and investors has devolved into an improvised approach with modest goals."

He's giving out only $20's.....should be $100's. This is an omen for the bulls...only small profits remain in this market.
