This destriero jackass is some special sort of numnut eh? If there is any way to block him from a thread completely? I'd love to hear it. I've already blocked him, and I can see that he's so freaking narcissistic, that he has to try to sabotage what I'm doing here by jumping around me, going with others in the thread to issues I really didn't want to address quite yet ...
If anyone shows any sign of encroaching his domain, he takes it personal and will attempt to pull you down. A macho territory thing.
An asym-condor has a weighted vertical. Such as: Short 2 SPX 2900/2925P; short 1 3100/3150C; (synthetic/IC) Long 2 SPX 2900/2925C; short 1 3100/3150C (natural)
It's more of dealing with narcissists. "Hey, look at that guy over there! He's made it clear that my input is not welcome, but I'm STILL going to try to worm my way in and make it all about ME and hijack what he's doing!" Funny. As I recall, why doesn't he have his own journal where he discusses non-correlation, grids, measuring MAE's, Sharpe's, RFR's, Sortinio's and have a whole thought out plan as to how to present it. If he wasn't so narcissistic, you'd think he'd be doing that instead ...
He does have his own journal. But you have him blocked, so you cannot see it. Thus the trouble with folks blocking other folks on ET. It leads to confusion in the way it is set up here. *shrugs*
My point really wasn't whether or not he had his own journal. That was a side (albeit incorrect) recollection. The point ... was that he feels the need to butt in when told he's not wanted. Which is the definition of narcissistic behavior. If he did have a journal which demonstrated Non-Correlation Principles, live trades that go onto a ledger, in real time that can be checked, how that translates onto a Portfolio Grid, mixing those grids, and that eventually gets to Sharpe Calculation, Sortino's, Max MAE's, demonstrating, slowly ... various principles? I can guarantee you that although I am one cocky sun'uvagun ... I wouldn't be so narcissistic as to try to butt into it.
I made mid seven figures in 2018-2019 in retail accounts (IB PM and TOS mIRA) and posted the (significant) blotters to my journal. This dude is clueless and trading $22.00 credits. FWIW, I am done here. This will be my last post to this journal. I felt compelled to show what others (Whez, Schmit, etc.) have also shown--that he's FOS. @raVar, you have no reason to be cocky. My 15yo knows more about vol-trading than you do. That's a conservative statement.
So I just went through that thread, since it was mentioned earlier As a guy, that has seen NUMEROUS people busted in the markets? You really ... R E A L L Y need to be careful with that dest guy. Seriously Reminds me of one of the most dangerous people I ever saw. A guy some knew ... who was out of Akron. This is going back, about 10 years. His last name ... was Davian. Posted completely profitable trades. And posted them in real-time. Knew all the mechanics. Could speak on how to the code on how to scan for opportune times to extract theta from Deep ITM's ... coding for optimal Married Puts ... some interesting stuff for 2010. But what was interesting about him? He had this really weird need to have people believe he was a BSD. I mean it was his driving passion. How "awesome" he was. What he had "done". Who he "knew". There is a rather famous Mid-Town Hedge Fund, that he actually DID know the guy, and was talking with him on a regular basis. He also regularly spoke with a rather well known Options Trader that I respect to this day. Davian's schtick? Was he posted "screenshots" of successful trades and amounts in accounts. Which is so easy to fake ... it's ridiculous. Hell, he posted screenshots of books, and screenshots of his VERY REAL small Hedgie trading floor that he had leased in Dayton. Conversations with him with this very well known Hedge Fund Manager outta Mid-Town. That guy just got out of Prison. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndoh/pr/copley-man-sentenced-nearly-five-years-prison-investment-fraud http://sirf-online.org/2014/11/24/a-reckoning-for-the-hedge-fund-king-of-akron-ohio/ I'm telling you ... flat out. B E L I E V E ... N O ... O N E Yes, that includes me. The only thing that matters ... are ideas. Which ironically ... you can even pull from the frauds, if they are ... shall we say ... Deep Fakes as was Davian (when the twitter-verse busted that guy, it was one of the most glorious things I had ever seen ... simply because he had this over-arching desire for people to believe "how important" he was ... and true to the theme ... how dumb everyone else was). You could actually pull ideas from Davian. Which is what made his deception so insane. There are no guru's. Just an extractable ideas. That's it. I mean, my God, I posted my portfolio mandate (which is not this) a few pages back, which is nearly lock solid. But it won't matter to guys like that. I could tell people a million times, this is not the most efficient use of capital, and did so at the outset. It won't matter. They need to ignore that ... say "This ravar guy advises long-flat with selling calls (no I don't, and have said so repeatedly) ... but they have to ignore that ... so as to prove their case as to how "smart" they are. As strange as this may sound? But Davian proved the case? There are people out there, more concerned that you BELIEVE they are important ... than they are concerned about making money. Even if they know how to make that money! I've never seen something as weird as Davian, until Davian. Then I found out? There are a lot of guys out there? With that same sort of weird need for the ego stroke. I figured out with Davian? You can spot them, because they have this weird NEED to have people believe they are smart. That's what drives them. It's their over-arching desire. As I've said numerous times? What I stress? Is not special. For partners? I run six strats (outlined in a general way ... earlier). That isn't special. I've said that numerous times. I can name 20 firms off the top of their head, doing the same thing. If I can name 20 firms off the top of my head doing the same thing? So much for this "raVar" guy being so smart. Because it's not special. I'm cocky ... but I have no need to have my ego stroked. The money does that. To try to get that from other humans, is exceedingly dangerous. Seriously ... guys ... go to a database like Barclay Hedge or IASG or Coquest, and do a search for "Multi-Strategy" or "Multi-Strat". You'll find there are a million firms out there, doing it. Multi-Strat, is simply an industry name ... for Non-Correlated Strategies. The point? What I'm showing is not that special ... But aspiring traders, need to know that, and how to approach risk. And Non-Correlated Strategies is one of the best way to do that. As a currency trader I knew years ago said ... if you're going to help aspiring traders? Don't lead them to your best stuff. Just give them a Skeleton, that they build upon. And then let them bang it out for themselves. or not. Thus ... as I said at the outset ... it's a model Partners and I have agreed could be shown, so as to not go near the stuff that is locked down by NDA's. Maybe I should call this a "Skeleton" Process? "The Skeleton"? (Yes, naming processes and approaches is a big thing in Finance) This particular model isn't even smart ... ---> AS I SAID AT THE OUTSET. These are just the principles, that you apply later; and go on to apply. And to do the work yourself. But as I was saying ... the Davian types? Their desire, and you see this again and again? They HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE BELIEVE they are well connected and did this, and did that, and know XYZ. Psychologically? It's usually because of either a) a mental problem or b) a deep-shame incident somewhere in their lives, that causes them to strive for what psychologists refer to as "Narcissistic supply"
"They are fake" schtick. They were posted in real-time, from a cell phone cam, of my front end with the time stamp posted within two-three minutes of the TSLA news in the bottom right of the pic. Tell me how to photoshop quotes and news time stamps in less than two minutes. The account number was also shown. Every one of my blotter pics are posted in real-time. All of the quotes match the time posted.
Account number shown. CVNA's last. "15:52 Musk regret..." headline. Posted within three minutes of the headline hitting the wires. A phone pic of me sitting in the cafe at Lifetime Fitness.
