Seminar PNL from Monday to date. New account so YTD is actually week to date. Max cap-utilization was <$300K. You can see that skew locks added BP. Even with the added BP with PM we didn't exceed $278K. Index futures never exceeded two lots.

So how does one trade like destriero? If you were to give your 18 year old self advice on options trading (assuming that you already knew everything in the book options, futures, and other derivatives, by John Hull), what would you advise?

I've never read Hull. I require it of my kids if they are going into markets.

Find someone to mentor me (at 18). I didn't have that. My dad was on the floor but blew out with Fossett in '87 and never fully recovered. IOW he wasn't a mentor and I took control of family cash in the mid 90s.

Ofc his second family didn't help matters.

If you're not up today then perhaps consider another profession.

Nice job. I suspect that most traders are not up 1%+ today. Can you share some trades that did well today? I missed your prior journals. Could you post some live trades occasionally?

I am joking. I don't expect ppl to be up on the day.
