FX vols got crushed going into the big game...

You're the "I hate the Fed guy" not me. I'm not the one going postal. I'm not the one ranting on this thread day after day after day about the Fed. Anyway...good luck. I'll check back from time to time to see who on this thread is capturing anything, I'll send some girl scout cookies in the...

No, you implied you were catching them....so I'm watching and waiting. Why do I feel like you won't produce?

OK dude, let me know your positions super trader, please post them in real time so I can watch you catch these 100 handle moves. This will be entertaining. So whatta got on now?

Dude, we've been at a 12 VIX with 6 handle daily ranges for months on end sans Brexit. The defense rests.

Dude, improve your reading skills. I'm not knocking your style. And no where have I even mentioned buy and hold. Get off it already. This market has been dead for two years as evidenced by the 12 VIX, not that chart you posted. On a % basis those moves are tiny. My criticism is the nature...

Be honest now, do you really think that is the main subject of this thread? Honestly? If somebody read this thread just picking random posts do you really think they would come to the same conclusion as you that guys are posting on here trying to scalp one handle with 20 contracts. I have no...

Yeah man, everything is relative in trading. Given two products A and B, traders should optimize their trading by selecting the product that is going to provide the most follow through in p&l and the least amount of adverse variance and by selecting the inferior of the two, it represents an...

That position will get crushed.

Nitro, a few things here. Those Scandinavian countries are not paying as much in taxes as you think or at least not as much in comparison to the US. Yes, they pay high income taxes but you know what, they pay hardly any other taxes. It's all lumped into one tax. Here in the US we have...

Yes I agree with your points above. And yes, the global wars, nation building all that cost money. But my greater point is, just the process of running a normal functioning gov't does not require as much money as they make you think. The problem with the income tax is its not fair for the...

Nitro, from this countries inception to 1915 it completely funded itself with national taxes and rarely was ever in deep deficits. It wasn't until we turned on the income tax spigot that the gov't started acted like a spoiled trust fund child always wanting more. There are several ways you...

The only way to pay pre-brexit is with options for sure. Wouldn't even think of taking any hard delta bets.

Ugh....on my thread we talk about cotton, coffee, sugar, corn, currencies, energy, metals, stocks and yes, sometimes the overall market. The difference is, we use the overall market, say the ES, as a "benchmark" for other products. Not as the sole focus of our attention. In other words, we...

Yeah that is nothing new. The rich have been using trusts since Rockefeller to protect their wealth while advocating for higher taxes on the middle class. That's why you can keep raising taxes but the east and west coast just keep getting richer while middle america gets sucked dry and this...

The complacency on stay is downright frightening. Trade accordingly...

Only on this fantasy thread does the market move. The spoos have been dead money for 18 months. Leave it to ET to focus so much time on the only market that actually doesn't move. Meanwhile in currencies, bonds, energy....

Yeah I know RickshawMan is a scam. Just curious.

Is there anyone on this thread who is not using a sim to trade? Honest question. I'm being completely serious. Don't attack the messenger.

How would the gov't implode? BTW, apple and google have hardly paid any taxes the last 5 years.
