    These all say at the "end of Q1." Where were they end of Q4 2018?

    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 you are not telling us position sizing? Is that not relevant?

    I never have. I produce a % return at the end of the week.

    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.

    Out 98.00. NDX outperformance but too much headline risk.

  10. 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.
