Trader P/L 2014

Laissez Faire said:
With all due respect, that's not a blotter. As far as I can tell, you're posting roughly 40 minutes of one single trading day showing one single trade.

You shouldn't be calling me a troll just because I ask critical or hard questions. You promised continuosly profitable blotters week after week, hence my legitimate question as you didn't post one.

First of all, that was my trading for the day. See the blotter right side? That's the end. One & done.

Secondly: official 2014 PnL "blotter" thread. same rules as previous years trader PnL threads

The rules for this thread state no conversation or chit-chat. Post a blotter or stay out, and Magna usually deletes all non-blotter posts such as your two prior. I replied to you out of respect and I attached a day's result in harmony with this thread's rule. So if you want your posts in here to last, you better come up with a trade blotter for Friday yourself.

When next week comes, I will resume posting with no doubt about account #s. If at any time I change my mind and decide to never post here again at all, that's something you'll simply have to survive somehow.

welcome thirst..and nice!

my week sucked. flattening term structure gave it to me good. i really cannot see any true edge for the foreseeable near term future. waiting is the trade now.

Thanks sellindexvol66. Bad weeks happen to everyone and all the time. No sweat and I'm sure you will do better shortly. Good trading.

Cheers

Do people simply post their dollar amounts of p/l here or do people post trades too?

I put together a summary of my trades for the week that I posted on Twitter (https://twitter.com/JBSTrades)

sure, at some point it does...even if it goes backward first, lol. the fact that back vol simply does not bid (worse than 2013) is something.

Yeah it's weird given the abs level of vol. I actually think April is a great sell (better than owning the back).

I think flatter term ( realized be damned) is the "new normal" until the talk of vix / vxx popularity dies down.

Wow. That was a lame day. I was unable to take advantage of what few opportunities I saw. Well, I won seven days in a row prior to this, so I'm happy with that.
 
march marks +3% , see attached.

i do now and then have to remark..its not so hard to back up performance with some stats ...of course though i understand if stats do not match repeated posting of how well one does,then of course you cannot post.

Q1 summary. Currently up ~13% ytd which breaks down to roughly...

Jan: -.75%
Feb: 7.8%
March: 5.9%

Correlation to SP is ~.40 and positive returns across the distribution except down moves greater than 1sd (I know). Daily stdev came down a good amount in feb/march partially because I stopped doing stupid things like getting outright long YM futures at the top in too big a size before a nice move down...but I still do plenty of dumb things like hitting sell instead of buy.:p

Traded mostly index vol, single stocks, spreaded index futures, crude calendars, vix calendars, and scalped some futures here/there.

Need to keep working on some things and improving.
