Short Options Seller - Extremely Successful!!

Quote from alexxjones:

Bwahhahaha, you mean the guy who blew up and has brokers up his ass for money??

Must be hard to walk with that hard on you have for riskarb...
 
I believe there was a thread that was discussing how well he was doing...

He stopped posting before the market meltdown...

the OP was looking for an old poster keep it on topic. ET has good quality stuff in the archives

yeah, i was not aiming at you specifically. riskarb has plenty of good archives. my point is; when he did post naked strangles or whatever, he had other stuff going on hedging off the risk from what i recall.

for me; i am a much better trader today from knowing him.
 
Quote from jones247:

I need your help. I'm trying to locate the username of an individual who was very a successful trader here on ET. I believe that he implied that his primary strategy was short straddles or short strangles. I believe that he had several years of 100+% return on capital.

I came across his posts several months ago... Although this is an extreme long shot, I'm hoping that it "rings a bell" with someone. I vaguely recall that he may have created a thread, but I'm not certain.

thanks,

Walt

He was with vtrader and had some tremendous swings. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=9764

Quote from jones247:

thanks soooooo much Stock Piker... I believe it was indeed "tivthetrader"... btw, was he primarily a short strangle trader? I know that Vtrader is an almost exclusive options trading firm...

thanks again...

Walt

I am not entirely sure. A friend of mine who introduced me to trading knew him from vtrader. I'd heard he had taken a loss and had decided to return to Israel. It looks as though he posted on ET a few months ago. Maybe send him a private message.

honestly, short naked option selling is perhaps the easiest thing to trade BUT with the largest risk and the greatest amount of capital required...
