If you are a newb,Des is not your mentor..

His writing style is not for the faint of heart,and there are times when I don't get what he's saying,and I was an MD on a derivatives desk (head trader)..

With that said,he offers gold every now and then,and that's all one can ask for...IMHO

Oh, sweet Jesus, these people with their endless supply of Kool-aid. Keep drinking and be content with your guru. Report back in 10 years and let us know of your progress. :rolleyes:

u actually understand the diarrhea that spew out of this mofo mouth? Todd is like the itch on my nutz that I need to scratch every once in awhile. That’s why I come back to see him every once it awhile. He is annoying like the itch. But he is my Todd.

If you read his old threads you'll understand more of his newer trades and language. If you use the search bar you'll see him answering questions describing one of his strategies as shown bellow. He's already answered the same questions over and over for many years and posted countless trade examples. Just use the search bar as others have done, including myself.

I don't trade any asym-flies now. I am long local and upside vol (not simply long tails). I stopped trading that stuff in mid-2019.

Is trading upside vol able to be done on an intraday basis or are you trading/holding for multiple days at a time? What is the timeframe?

I'm trying to see if I can use this type of trading (options) to replace my 2-7 intraday futures trades a day across 3 products. Would significantly lower my stress, but spreads are wide, and not sure if this can be done.

@Baron, case in point. A nick caught posting a sim-account as real money who's only purpose here is to troll.

It's a fairly steep learning curve but I left D1 trading behind (also in 2019). It was by far my best year ever (notional) but I couldn't handle the stress of a $200K daily var.
 
At some point Baron will have to decide whether he can maintain advertisers on a site that's essentially 4chan for Robinhood degen-traders or maintain some level of quality.
