to destriero (and all others that can help)

Good question,and I come in peace..I don't know Des,but I do know he is extremely knowledgeable regarding option "math".. I have gained valuable insight from his posts,and FWIW I was the head trader of equity derivatives at a major I B..

Imho,he knows his shit,and the higher option voodoo is not what impresses me...

Slow down my friend,you may get hurt:)

Read up on Delta hedging,which I do not believe Des focuses on

but gamma adds to volatility though so if he is trying to profit from volatility, hedging out gamma is pulling him back from what he's trying to achieve? Oh well anyway he is the expert... LOL

i have been reading your posts on et and am amazed by your knowledge of the options market. i myself have a basic understanding but nothing close to yours. how did you get to this level, and what would you recommend i read to take my knowledge to the next level?

The problem you are going to have here, I believe, is that dest and others do not know what "level" you are referring to. You say you are at a certain level, and feel dest and others are above it. Describe to your audience what level you are currently on, to see which level they can propel you up towards.
 
lol if I gave a fuck what any of you thought... I posted a YT in real-time when I had my first >1MM day gain. You tell me how to fake it in real time. The quotes match the post time stamp. The pic is in my dest everything journal. I post a figure when I feel like trolling the losers. If you want an audit... then write a check. Otherwise fuck straight off. You've gotten exactly what you've paid for.

Not true. My first mil-day was 2001 during the RAES arb. I did 1.1 on a Monday of the week that OCC locked the crossed mkts in COMS.

Would you say you are more comfortable when surrounded by yesmen/disciples or people challenging your line of thinking in the hope of helping you?

I have a chat group with ~25 guys in there and about half are former sell-side and current buy-side. It's 70% chit chat and 30% active brainstorming. One of the guys is up 300-400% at a Sharpe of probably 10.

Does that answer your condescending question?

Maybe...we are all sparrows and eagles in our own way I guess.
But I am with Nassim T. (a family friend) on this one: he is always doubtful and questions himself everyday.
