Maverick74 and marketsurfer's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade reports and journal)

Quote from atticus:

That's not true. I know and know of MR-guys who make 7-8 figures in curve-spreads. There are two guys on here making >$2MM a year trading curve from their homes. Neither guy knows shit about the underlying flows or are any way "inside" on commercials.

Yield curves? isn't this a non directional structural edge? I don't doubt you, but this is FAR different than what the directional chart readers are claiming.

thanks, surf
 
Quote from atticus:

I only take issue with a one lotter (in 2009) who found an "ATM machine" that earns 10x the initial haircut per year. I'd bet you make less than $50k from trading, so the $50k "opportunity loss" of trading the combine was foolish, IMO.

My progress from early 2009 to early 2011 was exponential because after I hit a bottom in my trading, my work ethic went into overdrive.

Term structure. Some of it is yield curves in UST, but most in CL, and some other comms.

Mean reversion. HUP (hold until profitable). Neither guy is backed but trades some OPM at 0+20%.

Sounds capital intensive. I know someone who might have interest in this strategy-- drop me a PM if they would have interest in a potential introduction. thanks.

Truth be told, I went for broke today in Combine, being the second to last day.. I blew out with a $1k plus loss.

That's because you don't (yet) know how to use technical analysis properly :cool:

Who exactly do you think you are trading against? surf

I don't trade against, I trade with. I jump on the backs of the money that moves price. The big professionals (locals, commercial hedgers, money managers) are the price drivers and I'm a "price rider".
 
Quote from Pekelo:

It is nice that you worry about our time management in our lives but some of us do have extra time due to waiting for set ups or already in a position waiting for it to play out. Just so you know...

I'm equally sure there are a million more constructive ways for you to while away your time.

Time is life, my long-time ET brethern. Don't look back from years to come and regret all that you wasted here :cool:
