I won million dollars playing a lottery this year! Ok, so not a lottery but a poker game. And not a million but about 20 bucks. And I lost, not won. That's all details.

Does running an HFT book count as day trading? :p
 
I’ll answer Bob’s questions:

Starting equity in your trading account in 2017?
I can’t answer how much but I can say I started in July this year.

Asset classes you traded?
Stocks and Options on stocks and indexes

Basic strategy?
Buying Speculative Long Calls on companies I can’t afford
Selling Naked Puts for companies I really want
Credit spreads on companies and indexes

YTD P/L?
19% since July

Is that what you expected to make?
No. I expected less. The speculative long calls have turned out really well. I purchased $105 SHOP Jan calls when Shop was $97 and Apple $170 Jan calls when Apple was down in the 160s for $5.8. Those turned out to be awesome.

I’m not a day trader but I review my stuff every day.

To give a sense of my trade sizes, I have 150 contracts on those Apple calls. Just today they have a PL of 15k and 35k since I opened the trade.

If it has been declining for 20 years you are definitely not a young person as you claim in this thread link below. /QUOTE]

Wait are you saying that people around 40 are not young people? That's very subjective. I consider myself young at 41...

0-1 baby
1-4 toddler
4-25 kids
25-55 young people
55-70 mature people
70-85 old people
>85... dinosaurs...

See... @Overnight is in the young people category...

I am sorry but a 25 year old is a full grown adult not a kid. I consider a young person to be between 18-30. Or 18-35 at the max.
Anyway please takethis conversation to another thread. Thank you.

Ha... really? Barely legal to drink... I've met plenty of 25 year olds that are more childish than some 15 year olds.

It's all in the eyes of the beholder... why the max at 35? Is it because otherwise you would be giving in to Overnight eh?
 
I’m confused, does the OP want this thread to be an open forum of conversation? Let’s make this the new chit chat forum guys and make him happy!!!!
