  1. I'm not looking for anyone's methods but my own. not a dig, just my answer. I spent a couple of years recently trying to bend my brain into making another's method work instead of fixing the tech issues behind my own. they're fixed as of about a month ago and I'm actively trading it now during my bouts of sickness.

    and in futures, nonetheless? I made $398 today on MNQZ22. traded for 45 mins before I spent time in the restroom and at doctor's appointments. max contract size I believe was 6. everything with stops. it's not setting any records but I definitely do not have $1MM sitting at AMP (nor (yet)) to my name.

    This guy is shorting 80 cent index puts. And not even attempting to trade inside the spread. F*ck it, let's sweep the sim-order book!

    Ofc it screams automation! I mean, what could go wrong? Oh yeah, I forgot about the red line thing.

  3. You have the trait of the genius my friend.

    The red line simply means the lowest value of the PNL. Difficult to get, ah ?

    Which in this case was -93,105.71. The account was funded 2M.

    Yeah, what a terrible DD! Actually, I could have done better, if I had defined the "protective structures" earlier instead of relying on the scalping facility alone.

    Yeah ok, next time, instead of a max DD of almost 5%, I will do a 2.5% DD. Happy ?


    Now go order on Amazon, that Christmas is coming!

    Guys, please let's stop here. Rudolfo Laspari has done irreversible damage to his reputation here and I would hate to see all of our replies be deleted. Let's please be polite and stay on point.

  5. oh I'm sorry, I'm wrong on the "and in futures, nonetheless" remark. didn't realize it was an options system. not my forte. regardless... yeah.

  6. LOL, this is the peak of intelligence.

    Earlier you invented the lie that I am executing LMT sell at ask and vice-versa (which is totally impossible in paper trading with options). And now you are complaining about the opposite.

    What a genius!

    As I already told you. ALL my orders are LMT orders. Sell at BID, buy at ASK!
    Check the report! :)

    Impossible? It's documented on this forum.

    lol if you were coherent you'd trade inside the spread. IBKR sim will fill you at any price! Better yet, don't short to open Jan 2023 index puts at 80 cents!

  8. Overnight

    Overnight

    No no no no, fullauto, never ever ask that question of people trading real money, when you have admitted you are trading sim!

    That is BAD juju!

    I was in your corner regarding my fascination with your FOP-layering until you typed that line.

    NEVER DO THAT!

  9. I am a superstar here.

    People will be laughing hard when reading all this fun from you, boys.

    Still here? I told you to go order the toys!


    PS. Tenure is much more secure here than US, imho.

    Layering is a euphemism for shorting puts at any price.
