It looks like it's been six years since my single-name delta book journal. I am semi-retired at 50 and spending more time traveling to establish residency (Ostermalm, Stockholm) and backcountry camping and climbing with my oldest who is in high school.
Here's the original thread from 2012: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/atticus-single-name-delta-book.253092/
I'll post swing trades (overnight holds at minimum) in single-name equity vola. I am not going to post size, but my average size is 2.8% of equity per name, debit-req.
I'll be trading a variety of 121 and 132 flies; calendars... no √time-neutral positions or anything involving a haircut. No conversions, boxes or rolls either. One exception would be an occasional pitchfork, but only to display edge or express a vola-bias. Obviously I cannot trade those in an IRA without wings.
I will post a real-time NBBO market quote at mid as my fill price. No screenshot will be more than 10 minutes stale. I am active and often trading from the road, hotel rooms, etc., and cannot post everything I trade. Some of the positions traded will be taken; some will be pre-existing (but with a r/t marketable price when posted). I am a mkt-taker, so I am not filling at mid, but it's up to your how aggressive you're willing to be or how long you're willing to babysit an issue. IOW, I am not going to lift offers to prove that my methods are NBBO-marketable. I've done it profitably, so I am not here to prove that to the troll-farm.
I am not posting pics of my execution or clearing platform. I am under an NDA for another 10 months and I am not interested in people prying. I will be posting NBBO from an inactive account that I use for quotes on the road.
My timing is my own. I am not going to get into the minutiae of timing or TA. I don't want to turn this into a TA-journal. You're welcome to PM me for clues to timing but I don't want to get stuck in the weeds.
I'll just drop it if this gets trolled by the a-props of the forum. I am not inclined to get into BS pissing contests.
My first trade(s) posted will be from yesterday's closing NBBO mids.
