From $60K to $600K

This and your other trading threads have been some of the best material I've seen on here in awhile. I have also enjoyed a few of the threads calling out b.s.. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post your work.

Up $1,600 from inception of the journal. I had the margin account showing, but it's not part of the journal. Up 3% in the first three days. I deleted the last post which showed the taxable account gains when I allocated GOOGL trade to the wrong account. I'd be up $2,600 if not for that allocation error. It would skew the "YTD PNL" if I kept it.

$1,600 not $2,600. Edit: Broke $416K.

Up 3.5% running. Covered all; UPRO, GOOGL, AAPL, BA... flies diagonals and a few long combos (straddles). Flat.

The largest position was a GOOGL call diagonal that was short a few deltas. I also had a small SPX position in a bull put diagonal along with some small OTM bear flies.

Dest look at Deribit for vanilla options on BTC, you'd probably find some easy opportunities in there. 100x leverage, you can put a small deposit in case you don't trust otc stuff. Good size in the options order book imo, though I'm just a piker (100x piker :D).

I'm long outright and have some covered call stuff to protect my longs from lower levels. No 'fundamental' opinion on btc or altcoins, just easy momo opportunity right now.

I have $5K in there from 2018 and was going to pull it, but I've seen, since your post, that they have more size behind them and depth now. I may add it to this journal as a side-car.

Quick heads up, the new FATF suggestion means that USA residents will be banned from many of these outfits offering super leverage. Technically the US is banned now, but its easy to get around now with VPN's and lack of KYC, but if these rules actually hold up, USA is limited to, what, 5x on Kraken? lol. You might be able to get around with like accredited investor status or something, no pikers like me though :banghead:

The industry folks are supposed to be meeting at G-20 to argue against the suggestion. Who knows. 12 months to adopt the rule.

I have a four lot TSLA fly in the IRA for JUL5. Short 40D (10 per). I have the same fly on at work, both are synthetics. I expect it to be a 20-30% winner (on debit).
