    Like I do? I am not suggesting risking your net liq on a week long vol-binge. I am in my early 50s and a few years from retirement. The $100K isn't a lot (for me) as it's just under 1% of my NW.

    It didn't require much thought to come to the realization that THC is counterproductive; especially to traders.

    All I'm wondering is how does Dest trade an edge in vol index with these type of market conditions? Sorry for my noob-mind I am 29 and only been trading options for 4-5 years and equity for 9.

    I cannot tell you that. I would literally be taking food from my kid's mouths. Well, not so dramatic.

  8. This has something of a "I'm yo' huckleberry" air about it. Once this gunslinger steps into the street, the only question is which undertaker is going to get rich off the proceeds...

    Man, ET ought to pay you.

    I'm still at the very beginning of the learning curve in my futures trading, so I've signed up for the CME challenge just for the educational angle. But if this is anything like your other threads, I have the feeling that I'm going to learn more from watching you. Best of luck!

  9. Just for fun it would be nice to come and show something a bit different results BUT why restrictions ?

    Ego is a tricky thing...

    Maybe vol dynamics by strike depending on what the market does?
