Quote from JackR:
Below is an update to last week's post. It's a bit difficult to track Surf (perhaps impossible), but here's what I think he is doing. Because Surf does not define his closing time for futures I'm using Yahoo Finance closing prices to avoid confusion as to time and source.
4/15 Close 4/3 Crude 10 long (stopped out @89.90)
4/15 Open Short 10 YG @1372 (Price per post, size per JackR calculation\guesstimate)
4/15 Open Short 5 YM @14661 (Price and size based on JackR calculation since only clue is Surf post of 151 point profit and previous YM size)

Too bad ribeye steaks are hard to find here. I like those too.
