Covid-19: So now what?

Nobody said they are infectious.
.

My post was a response to post #144. If I don't smoke or eat azbestos and I am not over weight I don't have to worry about those listed by Volente. Nevertheless I still have to worry about Covid, because as you know it, it is infectious.
 
Wait until the dudes in the woods wake up and repeat the stupid argument that the leading cause of death is diseases that could be treated in hospitals but are not because the hospitals are preoccupied with covid. Lol. We hear the same unsubstantiated, brainless, and unsupported claims over and over again. As I said earlier you can't make an intelligently and rationally thinking person out of a dummy.

Just reported on the news: COVID is now the leading cause of death in the US.
 
I know people who killed by a driver without exceeding speed limit or ever using a electronic device. The driver went to jail.
I know about a man who was HIV positive, infected another man who died from it. He went to jail for murder.

You are just a stupid truck driver, so the possibility that you can make a correct judgement about what is murder and what is not, is zero.
Yet to think you are smarter than lawyers, judges, doctors... You clearly demonstrated that in the threads about the elections.
Are you unemployed? Because you have lots of time to spent on internet. Too much to be able to drive a truck.

Nice deflection from answering my question. Do you own or otherwise have access to a vehicle? Have you ever had?

Yes, I’m employed and own my rig free and clear. Paid cash for it, in fact. If I choose to, I can earn more money than a recently established doctor, attorney, or judge, although nothing near what a established politician can earn. You see, I have the flexability to work when I want to. Then there’s trading. So I have multiple streams of income while you are presumably clinging to the quarters you earn for posting from your subsidized 400sf apartment. Or are still still on the waiting list?

If you happen to exceed my perceptions, you are still no doubt a person steeped in the hypocracy of “Rules for thee; not for me”.

Since it’s the holidays, I’ll chip in a quarter for your response to this post.

I had/have several German cars: BMW, Mercedes, and now an AMG. Wifey has a Mini Cooper.
I took the time to read a thread you started, and what I was already thinking is confirmed by yourself. You are a newbie dreaming trader who is trying create a profitable system. You need that system desperately as your income as a truck driver is being threatened. Your are not at all what you pretend to be on ET. Just a few parts of what you posted yourself , just in this one thread, exposes you.

Retail trader here …
…For purposes of this journal, my risk capital is defined by account value minus the $25,000 PDR. My initial account value will be $30,000 for an risk capital amount of $5000. If I lose my risk capital, I close the account and end this journal…
You are a professional trader? With just 30K and closing when you lose just 5K?

So much for trading away from home on a IPad.

Lost $104 from daytrading MES, and have a unrealized loss of $143 on a long ES 4-3-20 2470/2340/2210 put butterfly spread at 20.00.

On Monday, I will have my computer and thus will be able to have option prices shown in volatility, helping me optimize my option trades by buying relatively cheap volatility and selling more expensive volatility in accordance with my trading outlook.
Trading on an IPAD? You still have no computer? LOL. Your massive trading results clearly show you are a professional. Losing $104 on 1 Micro contract and a second loss of even $143 in one option? LOL. Very impressive.

Had a realized loss of $62.19 on a long MES trade

Very interesting day from a learning perspective. First, I'm feeling better focused on what time frame I want to trade that will efficiently balance time I can watch the markets and potential performance.

To that end, I am going to suspend trading in this account, closing my open positions on Monday, while I finish my trading plan. I will also be paper trading as time allows in order to gain proficiency on some new ideas before going live with them.
Again a loss? Again on a MICRO contract? ROFLMAO.
Aaah you are still learning. I thought you were a professional. You look more like a professional liar.
Ouch! Suspending the account? Oooh… you still have no tradeplan. You are going to PAPERTRADE??? You the really “suck”sesful trader? LOL.

NAV after closing the 2 flys is $29,755.11. Since inception, account is down $244.89 (.82%).
Yeah, a professional source of income of -$244.89. Impressive!
There have been a lot of load cancellations due to businesses either unable to receive their product due to CV related quarantines or unwilling to receive their product because of economic concerns.

The spot freight market of trucking freight availability has declined about 30%, from peak intraday loads of about 45,000 to 32,000 on my company's electronic load board in the last two weeks for dry van loads.
Did you not tell that you make more money than a recently established doctor, attorney, or judge, although nothing near what a established politician can earn? And now you say business is bad? You really have to work 70 hours a week to survive? That’s indeed very flexible work. No wonder you need multiple streams of income (like the negative trading income LOL).

Closed my ES fly Sunday night at 18.00, which was slightly better than break even.
You keep a good constant pace of negative returns.

Daytrading 'flys? God help me. My trading does not have my full attention right now as I am working 70 plus hours per week. I want to grow my net worth as quickly as possible given anticipated economic challenges ahead for my industry.
As I mentioned before already, you really have to work 70 hours a week to survive, and to pay for the trading losses? ROFLMAO. On top of that you risk to lose your single profitable source of income: truck driver. Sounds that you are in a pretty bad situation. Completely different from what you are suggesting on internet.

Closed out 2 ES April 17/April 20 2700 calendar spread for a net gain of $80.
Wow, you can even make some profit? A massive $80 on a 2 option massive position!

Closed the 'fly for a loss at 12.75.

As far a money management is concerned, after taking a stop loss, when is taking a new similar trade could be thought as merely a continuation of a losing trade? Should there be a timeout after taking a loss? Should trade criteria be more rigorous for a set period of time? I don't have as defined entry criteria on option trades as scalping, creating this ambiguous feeling on options trading.

I have some work to do this weekend.
Ouch, again a loss. Yes,better close all if you have no clue anymore what to do. You clearly have some work to do, but it will take more than a weekend to fix your professional trading career.

On May,2 your professional trading career ended on ET. You switched to a political career as journalist, researcher, judge and lawyer at the same time.

Glad you found time to “Expose” me.

Other than a few mischaracterizations in your post, you seem to have no idea how strong the US trucking industry is right now. Do a Google search on “Dry van freight rates” and click on DAT services if you care to, for weekly updated trucking industry information. The performance of FDX and other US transportation stocks has been noteworthy. My carrier’s electronic load board on last Friday afternoon(Avaiable loads on Friday, especially on a non end of month week are significantly lower than the highs of the week) showed we were at 66,000 loads, for a load to truck ratio of over 6:1. Freight market equalibrium is considered about 2.5 loads per truck. 66,000 loads is 110% of the record set at the last industry peak set roughly two years ago, and a massive increase from the April 2020 lows of about 23,000.

I did not tell what I posted. I just copied what YOU wrote. So you have no idea how the trucking industry is?

I quote:"My trading does not have my full attention right now as I am working 70 plus hours per week. I want to grow my net worth as quickly as possible given anticipated economic challenges ahead for my industry."

So quickly make money in trading before your trucking career ends. Or did you mean that the trucking market is very strong, but you are unable to profit from it?

You are quotimg dated information. My short term trading proficiency has increased and my trading account balance is higher. Recently, over $40k.

I haven’t looked, but have you started a trading journal, posted screenshots of your results and account balances?

As far as cars are concerned, I am a Japanese car buyer who used to own a Lexus ES300, bought used. I now own a late model Honda subcompact free and clear.

As far as political contributions, I have only donated to US Democrat causes, never to Republican ones, except to the NRA a couple of years ago. Go figure.

So when it comes to US politics, have you put your money where your mouth is?
