lol, we have a common acquaintance. I know you're underwater. BTW, I am not up $.50, so look again. The point is simply that your model is phucked. Doubly phucked with today's news. Microstructure you way out of it. Making contingencies = selling dime bags?
pimp: market microstructure hasn't changed, what do u think we'll all go back to retail? HA! Try again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from jimmyneutron: YOU ARE RETAIL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pimp: I most certainly am. And made 10K on a 10K account in December. Want me to post it? You stated you're not retail, now you admit you are?
You sound pretty sure of yourself as to my profitability. So that was an imaginary net $8,300 check I just cashed? The fact is I'm going to make $200K this year off my deposit. contingency=trading other world markets And okay, I'm not considered a 'professional' trader because I didn't take the 7, its semantics. Fact: pound for pound, as a %tage of assets I can trade/arb circles around you jimmy-boy. Have a nice day.
Fact my ass... fact is it will take you 50 years to get where I am. I was up 250k in the last six-weeks of '06. Arb, lol... you mean someone hitting your bid on 100-lot at .75 and you offering .80? Please, don't embarrass yourself further. By $200k... do you mean debit? The indomitable riskarb
You're right. I didn't marry into money. I don't have a brother in law(or wife or whoever it is) who allocates me capital that I can blow on worthless, boneheaded exotic index bets. I will take my nickel on a 100 lot for sure. Twice a day that's a grand x 250 trading days, that's a respectable living for most.
Was there really any doubt? Of course not. And I imagine you're convinced that nickel is an arb. Delusional.
I know how you always have to have the last word so this will be my final post this thread. A nickel is a daytrade, scalp, whatever the hell you want to call it. Arb rarely happens whether its conv.rever., divi arb, merger,whatever, most shops that do that pay under $.20/contract. I don't have that luxury. Why don't you go start another exotic thread so we can all watch you go down in flames again? ET could use a little more infotainment.
Envy is an ugly emotion. You mean like the journal in which I took $5mm in opm to $12mm? Or my current thread on the other board in which I am up 25% for the quarter? That's on 7-figures, piker. Keep editing your posts... I love getting into that hydrocephalic skull. Are you trading the "gamma eclipse" with realforextrades? Keep up the good work.
Beck, I actually got VP that job and I can tell you he is indeed profitable and doing very well. Your "friend" is out of the loop. Although I'm not sure why you are attacking him. I am actually pleasantly surprised by his good trading.
He's been bitching that IB pennies are killing him. I did hear he just recently went profitable. Plus, it's available on his blog. Someone mentioned Simplex and that he was there... I don't know the guy outside of this board, nor have I asked about the guy's performance. I do recall the cat giving me shit about that realforextrades guy, even after helping him out repeatedly in PM. I think he's weak, but I don't hold him any ill-will. Just stay off my c*ck.
