Thanks!

Can someone please give me the price of the 14 strike price Dec16 Vix Futures put? I just need a ball park figure to validate some analysis I did.

Do you ever average down?

Slow day for me, I'd like to hear some great trades from you fellas. The reasoning behind the idea would be great too. I've only been live for a month but so far my best day was on 8/30 when I shorted CL at 46.21 and closed at 44.75. It was a system trade, no theory or idea behind it.

Good day today. Forgot to post yesterday which had a loss a little smaller than today's gain so I am flat for the week.

Thanks for your advice! I have a strong modeling background so I know the pitfalls of back testing to not fall into. If I was to consider a supplemental strategy I would back-test initially and then paper trade the strategy for several months. Do you mind if I PM you?

Slight down day today. First month trading this strategy is in the books. 32 total trades for a net gain of 2.62%. Missed a few big winners because I was away from my computer but hey that's life. This strategy is a system with no discretionary properties from me at all. I may run the same...

Hey s0mmi, first off thanks for all the information you have provided this community. I don't want to hijack your thread but I figured since you trade spreads intra-day maybe you could help me out. I want to start trading some inter-commodity spreads intra-day like the RB-CL spread. Any advice...

Down day. Got stopped twice. Days like this kill my system. Followed my rules so today is still a success.

It's not for the faint of heart but if my actual results are even half as good as my back-testing I will be thrilled. First live month closes tomorrow and so far I have a 5.72% net gain.

i960, my stops are tight, my ten year back-testing is rock solid, what issues about RBOB am I not aware of?

BONECRUSHER you got me to lol. Thank you!

Woke up long with an unrealized gain of $800. Data comes out at 10:30 and I get stopped. I am now sitting on a realized loss of $450. I get short twice and get stopped twice for a total realized loss of $1300. I am now flat for the month. I am not happy. I keep following my rules even though I...

Small winner today. Not much to comment on.

After reading your title I thought you meant letting a stock run wild into the red

Ouch, rough day. Got short overnight and then Saudi Arabia came out and said they would freeze output if Iran does also. Get stopped. Get long. Russia comes out and says nope, prices will remain lower no matter what, if a country decreases output the void will be filled by someone else. Get...

Took a full loss today. Happens once or twice a week on average. As long as I followed my rules I am happy. Moving on to tomorrow.

This is what I was thinking this morning; if a 25 bp increase in short term rates poses this much of a threat to equities and the economy, what does that say about valuations as a whole?

Can you explain your thought process with this trade?
