I am mostly in vol any time that I make an index call. Obviously not the case in the AH session.

Des what do you mean by this? You are mostly in Volatilty (VOL), meaning short premium on index options? AND you don't hold after hours?

No, Meaning that I can't trade volatility in the AH session other than ES. NQ basically trades by appointment. I may be short gamma, not always, but always net-long.

Maybe the way he trades doesn't fit nicely with the concept of position sizing, but I'm not talking about liquidity. If he posts 10% weekly return, how do I know if he achieved it by buying a weekly call with 100% of his portfolio? He would be risking 100% to make 10%. Obviously, he is not doing that, but weekly percentage returns tells me nothing about risk he is taking on. Am I missing something? (very possible).
 
Basically, I want to know the risk taken to achieve the returns. Otherwise, it could be another 'Supertrader' strategy for all I know.
 
Great thread by AFAIK an exceptionally bright & able trader. I hope to learn something that might help, and thanks for sharing a little wisdom here.

It's difficult to share much, I know because you don't want to give out your whole game.

I appreciate that you are here.
 
I have a 2K lot AAPL position. I am not going to discuss strikes and duration as there are people reading this journal that believe that I am violating regs (good luck).

qlai, I don't owe you anything. Read the opening post.

"I'm going to use this journal thread to document my (weekly) performance figure..."

"I'll likely post during the day when positions are traded, but I doubt that I'll have the time to post fills in real-time..."

The purpose was to see what my weekly risk is going to be over a year's time.
