Vanzandt vs. Destriero Trading Competition

[Gotcha]

Regardless, I'm always going to default to getting the price out there, unedited. If there is confusion at least it won't be on price. TSLA was mentioned as it was the rationale behind getting long.

vanzandt doesn't post screenshots because his fills are dubious. He also accused me of "delayed" fills at 6:01 Eastern. The ES sell to cover at 6:35 was the worst possible price.

It's (VZ's) obfuscation and outright lying in an attempt to blow it up so he can walk away with a loss. Not going to happen.

I agree with you fully, and you're showing a million times more transparency. And I also agree that VZ is trying to sidestep this competition by focusing on your crass posting, perhaps even setting himself up for an early exit so that he has something to lean on.

But lets face it, you might get 10/10 for trading, and 9/10 for transparency, but perhaps only 5/10 for pleasantry.

You know of professional traders who use 1 tick stops?
Wow.....

It's his handle.

I am short deltas in SPX, SPY, etc. hence the long ES into the TSLA news. I am also neutral TSLA and will lose above 355 in shares. I should've had a four point stop but I expected to hold it through Monday's close.

lol another troll. If you're a price-taker you give up a tick on every trade, Kitten.

Were you up over 2% on Friday? It's rhetorical A troll that was begging to enter a message board contest. #blocked.

Stick with your butterfly collection, TD Waterhouse trader who has money management issues.

5/10 for pleasantry....you are generous haha

 

[vanzandt]

No you didnt say ES futures when you exited. You said

"Holy shit. TSLA ain't helpin this mkt. Out 16.00 ($800)."

If you have 10 positions open it aint immediately clear which one it was.

None of his posts make any sense...he's on something.... thats why I wanted screenshots. I was like 'how the hell can he close TSLA on a Sunday night?' Is he using some European exchange I've never heard of. I mean he's the great world traveling trader.... htf do I know? He's stupid. He writes like an idiot.

When I post a simple trade like "I bought 25VMC August puts at the midpoint ($8.40) when the stock is not budging and a whopping 100K shares have traded all day... its pretty hard to fake that trade...its right there for the world to look at and see.

So I ask for screenshot and he goes into crying overdrive about me. You didn't mention it Friday. Why didn't you say it from the start? So now I say something and you regress to a 12yo again calling people names. Show some class dude. .

I am not going to allow people to impugn others with the comfort of anonymity. He stated that he can trade, so do it. My demeanor has nothing to do with trading.

I am asking for screenshots of all four of your trades. Do you have those?

I agree 100%, and I'm sure this thread is getting a massive amount of traffic.

I think Baron should make it a rule that before any idiot criticizes someone else or their trading, they need to show 10 trades in real time. The minute someone tries to help someone else trade, they need to demonstrate their trading ability, as well as the minute they put down someone else's trading.

I'm happy to see you start this thread.

I'm not side-stepping anything. Maybe we were brought up different, but I believe a competition should approached with high degree of professionalism and respect. Every one my snotty comments was preceeded by an attack. And then we have a clown playing court jester with kitty memes like another 8th grader.

There was no sidestepping... the original request for a screenshot was because of the TSLA post, which others here agree was misleading. Of course you can't close TSLA on a Sunday night.... but I have no idea about European or Asian exchanges... I asked for a screenshot and get called names. Thats hardly sidestepping.

This is going to problem going forward. Where as it took me about 10 seconds to get over my initial confusion and for it to click he was talking about his recent ES trade. However during the day when there is going to much more cross posting and all markets are open and fast moving he needs to be clear about all entries and exits.

Him calling you a 'fucking idiot' every time you have a query and telling me, an impartial observer to 'go fuck yourself', isn't going to help either.
