Very nice.. -6K , 25K.. very solid risk/reward. If i may ask.. how do you exit your trades ? fixed target, scale out, trail a stop, something else? just curious..

You're living the dream man...

Yeah yeah yeah. Kumquat.
It's alright. I'd be hugely surprised (delighted of course too) if I did better than you, but I'm not silly enough to think that's gonna happen. Green is good. This will be my first full year doing this w/the VIX, so I'll be happy with that.

I'm not trading for greed, its simply a job that I work harder than many think I do. Also its not all vix. I trade a lot of other stuff.

There were many who thought I could never earn seven figures year after year..so its possible imo for anyone.

The weirdness was /is expiration related and possibly lower margins bringing in more size.

Wish you luck!

Thanks for the good wishes, and just in case you misread, I said "Green is good" not greed, as in, I'll be happy to be >0 in my VIX stuff this year (I trade other stuff too of course). Obviously at this early stage I don't think I'm over the learning curve.
Anyway, I liked seeing that P&L. Good stuff. Means I know there's opportunity in this direction.

thanks.
my exits are all of the above except trailing stops. generally for the most part i scale out.

and to trefoil: i may really need glasses finally ..took the "green" for "greed"

I started off really well. I'm trailing my realized P/L, and I gave a chunk back, so I'm done for the day.

The new site wouldn't let me attach a file, so I had to link to a hosting site. Hopefully, that will be fixed soon.

Frustrating day. Not a good trade in the whole day. EOD things sorta began balancing out, but I should have done much better.

+$11.41. CL

Stopped out of a good position by that sudden mid-session down draft.

Forum not allowing me to upload images either. :confused:
 
Almost perfect. I even managed to guess the correct direction of the VIX SOQ, which started my day out on the right note.
