f\ he worked with monro@ tr@ut, who worked for nied@rhoff*r.

Surf, do you have a personal rule against spelling out
Monroe Trout's name?

Whatever was that rule's genesis?

Was he short naked on MLK limit down night ?


How did he blow up on the spike up if he was short puts ?

Because he used IB as his broker. I had short straddle on ER2 680 on the same day, and IB issued margin call at the day the market was not opened. My account was locked, and i was unable to close my position at the next day when the market was opened. IB liquidated my position at the worst time when the spread was over $15 (basically no ask at the time of the trade was executed around 10 am). Just after the execution, the ask was a lot lower (more than $5) than my execution price. My IB account was gone, and i was killed by the spread.

IB made most money as the market maker. Don't you know? BTW my overall portfolio did okay in Jan.

I think it evolved after Trout secured the restraining order against Surfer......

Let's not forget Horatio Brutus Douchbagus, the great Roman orator who used to stand in the forum and make wrong predictions about the market daily.

this is freaking depressing (if he really did blow up)........i wonder if this is the fate of all traders............no matter how well you have it, its just a matter of time before you give it all back...............i'll be withdrawing profits weekly now on........put profits into long term safe investments.....speculate with no more than 20% of net wealth.......all it takes is ONE day/week/month you get reckless and get caught over-leveraged on the wrong side of a black swan and its all over very quickly......then if you try to "get even" after that then you probably end up homeless.

Quote from Reaver:

SEEMS TO WORK FINE TO ME.

What's the obsession with Aaron? I don't know the guy, but I think you're going a little over the top. He seems to be pretty well liked around here by some decent guys, and that says a lot about him as far as I'm concerned.

We see how quickly parasites are dealt with, so when I see guys like LH, etc saying good things about him, then it works for me.

Like Holygrail mentioned earlier...I've never seen people so ready to pounce on someone's misfortune. It's not like he's Timmay or something. Jeez. He seems like an upright guy to me.

Good point Reaver, why should Aaron be punished for trying to document performance.

Do you find joy out of posting private correspondance on a public forum you f*cking tool?
