There is no such animal as a DN portfolio... hence your performance deficit.

WTF! 900k in one day - what was the size of your net assets at that time?

I did 1.4MM two pages later. Pinned to my neutral strike on last trading day in SPX and nearly pinned on NDX.

6.8MM (starting cap) on that day.

No, just books.

I can understand your skepticism, but it's a real number. Most people on ET find me to be an honest chap...

On that last point, what was the name of that site where you would log trades in real time for others to see an actual performance?

So you made 909k/6.8m in one day?
talking about betting the house....

Well, I was risking 240K on 231P fly debits. It was almost a quad on the fly debit.

I am an equity investor. What is exactly a fly debit?

OK, a NASDAQ 100 buyer who bought on 03/13/2019 is up 2.8% as of today.
It's a good unbiased benchmark we can all look at.

But if a nasdaq 100 buyer kept buying every month, he would have made 2x his investment.

Just curious, why are you changing handles? Just for fun?
