He said he bought puts ... no underlying, no strike, no premium, no expiration date, and the basis was something about his vague nervousness about the market. How do you know he made any trades at all - there was not even any market to which we could mark him. Even if he did actually “buy puts” when he said he did, there is nothing to say he didn’t actually lose money. I’m sure you know that plenty of option buyers have lost money being right on direction but wrong on timing and extent. He posted after the fact about his entry AND his exit lol Without an underlying, premium, and expiration date, this was a coward’s attempt at tricking the gullible into thinking he had any balls to make a public call. Worthless “call” ... if you want to see how proper option trades are posted search @destriero’s trades. You misread bondyboy ... he comes here to belittle everyone else and build his own ego. Find me a post of his that actually makes a positive contribution to this thread ... or a post that doesn’t seem to have as a primary motivation presenting himself as a susperior being to any and all on ET. He doesn’t sound like a trader so much as an investor, and he certainly does not understand the type of trading most of us are doing here.
This thread sure is entertaining. Had me a good belly laugh scrolling through the last pages before logging in (and being able to read everything from people ignoring me). NQu******s makes a public statement saying he's leaving the thread for at least a week, but keeps posting continuously. NQu******s claims to be ignoring @mbondy ' s posts and makes sure to let everyone know that, but then makes a post shortly after trying to disprove said member's call when one of his followers give credit to mbondy. Poor old fellow needs to make up his mind already. PS: Let's see if he can resist responding to this. I won't hold my breath.
It makes no difference to me if he made a real trade or not. He was posting for a few days as the top was forming that he was "nervous" and that he is protecting his longs with puts. Then market went down over 100 points. In my eyes that's a good call. Not everyone is a day trader scalping exact price levels. I am not here to talk shit and start beef with people, there are a lot of knowledgeable posters in this thread and I give credit where its due.
It doesn't matter whether he is a trader or not. If you come in here just to insult people and act like an asshole, you will be treated as such.
And even where its not, apparently. Sh*t ... if you give every ET poster who was nervous at the highs (many all the way up) or disbelieving the rally (again, many of them all the way up) you'd have to give everyone of them credit for "calling a top" which is ins't even a "top" unless we have a rally that forms a lower high followed by a decline to a lower low. Again, "protecting his longs with puts" is a true non-call without underlying, strike, and expiration date. You can buy puts and lose money even in a decline. It was a balless non-call on his part. "I'm long futures." F^ck ... doesn't it matter to you which month and which futures and from what price? I could just say I'm long futures and then if the "market" goes down could claim I was long $VIX futures or Milk futures or rough rice futures. Have some standards ... that guy is here to do nothing but insult everyone who participates in this thread and inflate his own ego for hisowndamnself and no one else.
Gee fellas, im flattered by the attention. @_eug_ respect. @Laissez Faire the lulz just never stop! Is it just me, or has this thread gone from being the b1 gong show to nqueerious personal twitter feed? poor little nqueerious,,, jealous much? Such a delicate little flower you are, So precious! All this nonstop blather and nobody's even asked you for proof of trade, i guess ppl are desperate to believe whatever it is youre selling!
One of the things I've noticed is that he isn't really calling out trades much. In his discussion with speedo, he will say how he got into a long or got into a short at roughly the same places. He talks about areas where he will look for a trade, but rarely has he called out actual trades. Here is one example. "You know ... I caught both those shorts and the reversal ... covered the second short and went long at 32.75/33 ... not my best but it worked just fine." https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/es-journal-2019-2020.328086/page-577#post-4853249 Like is he trying to impress speedo? Then another example here I remember from a while back. He makes a call "NQ long 4.25, stop 1" https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/es-journal-2019-2020.328086/page-463#post-4845953 Then the trade stops out, and out of nowhere he makes this post "Stopped on the first entry, but doing well on the second ... can't tell you about the second or candles will show up to drop trou and sh*t all over the thread." https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/es-journal-2019-2020.328086/page-464#post-4845967 So I'm like where is the mention of the second entry? If that failed as well, would he have said it? I've noticed now that he spends 90% of the time talking about what he thinks will happen, and very little about the trades he actually took. (he does sometimes, but its rare) Not sure what to think about this guy to be honest. Like he wants recognition for his calls, but where is the full set of trades? Other guys making legit calls in this thread are unfortunately the ones losing, but then this NQ guy who seems to be doing amazingly well isn't providing enough real time trading talk. I thought this thread was about making trade calls. Oh well.
Good on you for thinking original thoughts. I am equally as skeptical and this thread has lost its flavor with professor queerious pontificating over every friggen tick and point every 10 minutes in his hindsight SIM trading account.
