No, not if you take their press statement and Dahlio’s subsequent comments at face value. Since they’re calling it a hedge the puts are making their long equity positions more delta neutral in terms of overall portfolio risk. The methodology they are using is to make money as a relative value...

Great question, since day traders like yourself are either long or short the market and generally speaking are flat outright price risk (neutral) when not engaged in a very brief duration intraday bet. SMH. :banghead: If you carry a core long position in your trading account you can lighten up...

And I think that your response is mature and sensible. You cannot worry about things that are out of your immediate control. If the market price action as you interpret it is bullish you buy. If the market price action as you interpret it is bearish you sell. If you're unsure of yourself -...

They haven't made their strike prices known publicly AFAIK.

Ya don't suppose the banks who are clamoring for more liquidity cash in the overnight repo market are buying stocks with it ? Hey: 1.64% cash... :rolleyes:

Have you ever thought about shorting RB vs HO in the Winter ? ;)

Yeah, reading Bridgewater's press release carefully - the distinct impression is that they are skiddish and wanted some downside insurance on their portfolio. I doubt that they would only bet 1 percent of their capital on a naked bet if they were absolutely convinced...

No such thing in the real world of trading real money in real markets. Let’s be realistic - proper exit will also mean no profit and a loss. Unless you are buying order flow, a significant percentage of your trades will incur no profit.

My concern is that trade management gets the usual platitudes - yet most newbs spend next to no time on it. I'd wager that unprofitable traders are spending 95 percent of their time on trade entry. Everything else is an afterthought. That's just what I've seen working with over 200 clients...

As of 30 September 2019, Hussman's Strategic Growth fund had a 10-year average annual loss of -7.23%, compared to a 13.24% gain by its benchmark, the S&P 500. Well, if the market drops 72.3% Hussman can maybe break even for his long suffering investors.

I've seen more newbies blow up from the lack of proper trade management than any other reason. A brilliant trading system includes airtight trade position management - has to.

You’ll never get a job at the ECB with that kind of attitude :D

Note: this thread title and the cited article is about Turkey and South Korea - and to an incredibly limited extent, the EU. Not the USA. In fact, the NY Fed thinks that short selling restrictions don’t really work.

I have a buddy who makes markets on the Northern Trust IR Swaps Desk. NT tried to shut down their customer trading and brokerage business in the late ‘90’s - but their considerable Japanese Commercial clientele insisted on keeping it. It’s a really high quality firm that doesn’t rip customers...

Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay

This particular rabbithole you've started is quite shallow. Seeing a chart ten ms early is pointless quite honestly - the ECN delays between a trading exchange data server, your charting vendor server, and your own PC ethernet card is of much more consequence than your monitor's refresh rate...

As the State continues to make itself more and more unlivable... And to dictate policy, morays and laws to the rest of the Country.

It will help you if you can understand how electronic exchanges like Globex internally matches orders. Fortunes have been made with a very deep understanding about exactly how the Globex algorithm works...

I read the report, and I am quite skeptical about the origins of their "liquidity index" - it relies more upon subjective dealer opinions than actual exchange traded volume. For example - dealers cited a decline in HF traders (PTF's) as making liquidity "more fragile" (page 16 of the report)...

He’s from New Zealand. But he could possibly find an oil proxy on the Nikkei.
