  2. Why do you have to do a bullshit bucket shop for someone to prove whether they are profitable. You are not taking the other side of these trades anyway so people are just posting hypothetical trades. No one is posting trade sheets.

    When people ask why most traders fail it is because they spend most of their time in fantasy land with logorhhea blog posts and fake trading competitions rather than kill all the distractions and just focus on trading. Pretending to take the other side of fake trades is not teaching anyone anything except how to pretend.

    I am out of half, but here are the marks. I was in the (identical; structure shown in second image) synthetic from a 48.70 credit. Here are the latest marks. Figure marketable is 58.50-80 for a gain of 700. A gain of 100 for the embedded fly. +800. I am probably holding remainder through expiration. Will see.

    Worst mark was $45 mid. Best mark was $61 mid. Currently 60.15 mid.
