He challenged me and then ran away. So GFY. I will produce a raw return and risk adjusted. fck ES. If any of you could trade you'd trade vol. I am not sitting in front of my screen and pissing in a jar to avoid missing some degen setup. I trade delta in vol. You don't like it? Aw shucks. I don't punt in a 9% HV figure. And yeah, I will trade ES vol at night. I could limit my trading to the opening and closing 30 minutes of the day and beat anyone on this board, risk-adj or notional. If you get past that LD I will suggest reading the first post in this thread. All orders and positions will be long Vega. No adds (no legging into short vol). All orders will be on the COB with a screenshot (for ET audit) of the initial Greeks. Unimodal to Vega. No exceptions. I can't short vol so worrying about shorting combos is pointless... like the post to which I am replying. What I've committed to here is an OOM more than any of you fools would agree to, but when I turn the screw I don't stop.
I'm fine with D1 in futures. I'm not willing to devote the time for something as stupid as this (contest). Put $500K to the winner on the line and it's another story.
Even though the VIX is dropping, that is financial suicide. The delta in price in just the Dow over the last 2 months has been 1,500 points. Now we have the election coming up? You're a madhatter!
How do you compare the trading success of 2 differnt sized accounts? If 2 traders both make 10k, one with a small account and the other with a much larger account who is the successful trader?
Don't be so hard on yourself. Your Post was very constructive considering the amusing reply it generated from Poopy. For future reference, your best Posts are the exasperated ones filled with "are you retarded", "get fucked" and "piss off"!
For future reference, you should know I normally like to chill back and not get into confrontations. In fact, this very thread is too damn confrontational and I get ullcers just reading them. I know @poopy and @MarkBrown are way beyond their age to be fighting over who's got the bigger dick. I bet ya these two aholes are otherwise meek as a sheep IRL. But once they come here they turn into friggin' egomaniacs. Anyway, with regards to my "are you retarded?" comment, that dude was just begging for it. Never seen such a condescending pussy in my life. BTW I don't usually get this riled up. I'm a meek sheeple IRL as well.
Different accounts sizes? If one trader loses money and the other makes, then we have a clear winner. If the trader with the smaller accounts makes more absolute dollars than the trader with the larger account, then we have a clear winner. If account sizes are similar in size, ie. the smaller account is at least half the size of the larger account then use Percent return. Otherwise it is hard to compare..
