Why are you so insecure. No one is taking away from you your knowledge on option trading. I wish I knew as much as you about options where I could spit things off the top of my head. And if you can support your family with it... good. Great actually. Its impressive. Few can really. But lets take Max here for example. You have no idea about him but you, in a very "childlike" manner, go on about him having a 450 FICO score and a dirt floor and being deported, etc.... I mean for someone who impresses me as being pretty intelligent... why do you act like that? Thats just weird dude. He never did anything to you. If you disagree with his politics... hey thats all for fun down here. Why the personal attacks. And regarding his trading, I have followed his trades real-time... sat there and watched them execute on Level 2 after he PM'd me. He's an incredible momentum trader. One of the best I have ever seen. How he finds these stocks is beyond me. And he wins. Big. So whatever Desty.... take it fwiw.
You stated that I regurgitate investopedia. This has nothing to do with insecurity or ego. I have had some experience in various listed and OTC arbitrages. More than most, I'd imagine. All public markets. You're keen on stating that I am some hack making shit up as I go along. You can't have it both ways. You're some retail clown in the ghetto talking shit on a message board.
See there you go again. In the ghetto? Name calling. Thats childish. Its what juveniles do on the internet. How do you know where I live? You don't. So its stupid. Its childlike. I am retail though. Guilty as charged. I trade for fun. I enjoy the hobby. Don't really need the money. But I do enjoy beating "professionals" like you. Do it everyday. And it doesn't matter if I'm only using $50K and not $5MM.... I love the game ace. And btw... I didn't say you regurgitate stuff from Investopedia. What I said was... advanced option strategies are boiler-plate trades. I can look up how to do a triple lindy flying broken wing vertical shellfish and read where its best applied, understand the risk/reward diagram.... and go for it. Not a whole lot of original thinking required. And to be honest, its nothing someone with an average IQ can't readily grasp. The art is in knowing the individual stocks and the herd mentality in general. And on that Desty.... I'm levels above ya son. That takes people-smarts. Intuition. I don't think you have that, as evidenced by your behavior demeanor here interacting with others. And I never said you make stuff up. You however, did say that about Max E. Sooo..... ... are you starting to get the idea here? You need work. Its Okay.
You couldn't borrow enough to meet PDT. Please don't feign otherwise. Max is a failed trader who went bust twice in a year and was foreclosed upon before being deported. He's a Canadian citizen who spends his days on P&R blowing Trump... a Canadian who worships a POTUS who cannot spell four letter words and believes Nambia exists. You made up this Max PM shit to blow a comrade. That's fine but it doesn't pass the smell test. Where's the intro? He's posted literally nothing on this site outside of P&R so there would be zero incentive to talk shop in PM with a guy who's an admitted two time loser. You just pulled that turd out of your ass. A buddy of mine on this board made millions over the past two years with my investopedia shit. His handle is Doobs. He posts his trades. Max? Max has 13K posts on politics. Nothing else. What books have featured your busto Max? You?
There you go again. Are you dense? You have no idea who I am. This would be like me saying "your wife is a fat ugly pig". I don't say that because I don't know that. I don't argue like a child on the internet. Is it really that hard for you to see that you do that?! How about this..."You're big and ugly and you live in a trailer". There. I just lowered myself to your debating IQ. You can't see how stupid that is? Really? I mean, I am really starting to think you are one of those people who is reasonably intelligent in one area, but dumb as a stump in a myriad of others. Most others obviously. Understand now... that I can say that. You spell it all out for all the world to see. Perhaps you should now speak of my mother. That would be predictable based on the profile you manifest here. Regarding trading and your advice to mystery members here... pff...I seriously doubt you are very successful. People like you don't go very far. And regarding Max, I can only report what I have truthfully seen with my own eyes. I don't suppose he ever wrote a book. Surf wrote a book. I have a friends mom who just wrote a book. I mean, what's your point? Who cares. BFD If you don't have a likeable personality dude... you're a nobody. But whatever... I'll keep you off ignore for awhile. Give ya a chance. Plus I may have an option question or two. Never know. ttyl Desty.
Dude, stop embarrassing yourself. You’ve stated more than once that you’re from Chicago. I happen to be born and raised on the North Shore, so I am familiar with the area. Max went bankrupt in the time since Echo went under (2013) so that doesn’t meet the smell test either. He’s making mad stacks from what? There is literally ZERO trading artifact on this site from Max. It’s ALL politics from his first post. Again, you are completely lacking in credibility. Some would go so far as to categorize you as suffering from BPD. It happens a lot in trading. Guys without edge think that they can make a go and become pot-committed. Dude, you are truly out of your depth. You can attempt to insult my intelligence all you want, but one of us was on a full academic ride at Chicago from age 16 and it wasn’t you. WTF do you think your general level of functioning has to be to get a ride at 16? Not UIC... the one in Hyde Park. You want to bet on something? We both take a Wechsler test (WAIS) in a controlled setting and we agree to post the results here. You win $1K from me if either: 1) I don’t score a 160 IQ or higher 2) You score 120 or higher If I fail to score 160 or higher and you do score over a 120 then you win double. I beat 160 and you fail to break 120 And you lose $2K. I have to be out in Chicago anyway. I don’t want to meet your skievey ass, but we test at the same time. I can set it up. You pay for yours and a I will hire the proctor. You game?
The ignominy too great? I'm off your ignore list, so start posting some trades (anything) on my journal thread or start a journal thread of your own. Either way; you have my word that I'd not ask to have any of your posts removed from the journal. A buy or short and a stop price. The “fill” must match the price posted, so it's probably best to use a screenshot and post a price that is marketable when posted to the journal. Trade anything you want. We can calc % return based upon initial req. My stuff will be traded in vol, so we'll have to agree on a fill over mid. I don't care if you actual take the trades in your account, just as long as the prices are marketable when posted to the thread. Winner after say, 60-days, wins the cash prize. I will even offer odds. I will send you $10K if your return on initial overnight req is higher than mine at the end of the 60-days. You send me $5K if my return on initial overnight req is higher than yours at the end of 60-days. We can author a competition journal. Imagine the ratings!
See, this is why I put you on ignore. lmfao. You'll keep me up all night because I can't resist arguing with a dummy that thinks they're so damn smart. (To the other's here... I know!!!... the old adage... "argue with a fool".... but I can't resist). Show us proof of your full ride. I call BS on that one. And if you want to bet money on something.... post one link where I said I reside in Chicago. Just one. You have no idea who I am bro. No idea at all. Put up or shut up now.... I gotcha.
You have the bets; choose one. You don't get to ignore the wagers. You want my transcript? You win one of the aforementioned wagers and I'll order it for you and send you the PDF. Free. IIRC you've posted Chicago CL links in the past. TBH, I don't care where you're from.
