I am forming this repository for all delta1 and convexity trades that 1) are solely personal funds, are 2) listed products, with spot gold and silver as the exception. I am trading EU OTC and flex stuff now, but am free to trade and talk about US listed products. I was content to post occasionally and mostly lurk, but there has recently been a concerted effort to see me go (spoofed emails from ET, etc.), so I am going to post with greater frequency just to piss them off. i dont' really have the time, but I will make some for my buds at ET. I have a 50:1 AI account with Oanda so I will post my automated gold and silver spot trades as well. *** Everything will be marketable and in real-time. No exceptions. *** Douchebags will be dealt with harshly. Yes, that's right... liberal use of the complaint button and I will invade your dreams. *** If you're critical then you'd better back it up with a *successful* journal with marketable fills. If you have then your posts will stay. My earlier journal that returned 12x risk would be a standard.
I was tired of Surfer's and annaland's sociopathic trolling, so I asked the mods to kill my atticus nick in protest. Now both Surf and Rodney King (aka annaland) have been banned. I'd like to keep the thread on the topic of trading and macro developments.
I went long gold and silver against USD this morning prior to the Fed announcement. The premise was simply that Summers' drop from contention meant that no tapering would be discussed. Did a bit over 80% on account due to >90% of net liq in initial req. Obviously this trade will not be marked to this journal. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=278288&perpage=6&pagenumber=2
" I was content to post occasionally and mostly lurk, but there has recently been a concerted effort to see me go (spoofed emails from ET, etc.), so I am going to post with greater frequency just to piss them off.". Excellent, somebody willing to provide the time and effort to carry the flag for ET quality over the spewage that was drowning the site. edit: DOW made a new high today, if you catch my drift.
Atticus you're the best. I put a few pillows on those beach chairs for your comfort. Your welcome to them any time
