paid 499.32/499.91 appl spot. this is my initial entry. i will add if it drops. i wish you fly guys luck there.
Performance to date +14.98% after the AAPL loss. Still holding the small AMZN position. Will be at a 20% allocation (somewhere) at the close today or tomorrow.
This account just went live today so no realized PNL. Mid 7-figures and christened a new 12-core MacPro for the occasion. It will loosely track what I am doing here, but there is a lot of moving parts in this account and it's going to be longer holds and lower PNL velocity. That's why R/T calls are more important than a blotter, IMO. Option loss attributable to microstructure/entry edge-loss. Stock gain from 400-share AAPL short.
does latency matter in this account? Obviously you don't want fills on a 386 pentium, disregard if this info is proprietary.
I do some basket trading, so I suppose it may be an issue, but all is low-freq. I have fiber to the house but I am nowhere near exchange centers. I'll post a monthly IB PNL% chart from IB's portfolio reports. I do a lot of video editing for my kids (skiing and also minecraft and TF2) for their youtube videos.
question for you if you dont mind answering, if you do its completely understandable as it's kind of a personal question: where did the 7 figures come from? savings from employment, inheritence, built it up from trading? Once again sorry if this is too personal but I would love to know
You're in higher I am sure, but they're at a quarter for Feb. I mistook the calls for the puts and saw a 1.50 price. Quite a shock until I saw that I was looking at the calls.
