Destriero, Do you mind if I post my weekly results From IB (same format) as a very friendly competition? My account is not small, so this is "Real Trading" with "Real Money" I promise that. I think some competition would add a nice layer to this thread. If you don't want me to post, say the word. As a kicker.... you have a head start YTD:
Gotta Chase ES long here at 96.25. Shorting vol and buying deltas and futures here. Down a buck today on the IRA.
So how do we know what risk you took to produce those results? I mean you can do whatever, but I just don't get the point. I'm asking for relative position sizing of course.
Because I am using one account for the accounting. I am mostly in vol any time that I make an index call. Obviously not the case in the AH session.
From my knowledge of what dest trades they are pretty liquid products that someone can trade a 1 lot or do some size without any problems. So the actual size might truly not be that relevant. I believe from his other postings of vol trades here that it can be done in a $25,000 or $250,000 or $2,500,000 account.
