I guess put little green cocoon on a stick there won't be a special options butterfly then. Trump said to Mnuchen make market go high any way possible. People supporting him know there is a problem and don't want to look. Actually even crazy old Scat has made several posts voicing his disgust at this. I have a lot of paint fumes in my life.
Oh, come on. You know we are in the cycle where you hire someone who has never lived through a real bear market, say in 2008 to 2009, to manage your money! Heard a song on the radio a few minutes ago and thought of your acting desires. With lyrics:
With my system I only take 55 percent longs vs shorts. Worst case, if long biased flip the monitor. This is a better tune for options traders who are not as big brained as they think, which is near all retail options traders?
If I were sim trading it would still be around 55 long percent this is just a consequence of trend and stairs/elevator. Account statements absolutely lie. I have encountered three trader gangs looking for investors with fake statements. One was elaborate and had an entirely faked/duplicated FCM portal running off a local database. But if you want to believe some PDF saying it's from Dorman etc. is proof of something, stick to trucking perhaps.
I was thinking in terms of your(My) own statements. At the end of the day, no matter how you(Me) may portray yourself(Myself) to others as a trader, your(My) account statements are staring at you(Me) in the face if you(I) are trying to bullshit others. I’m not offering or seeking investment management services, if you had thoughts along those lines. So am not looking for or providing pdfs, if that is your concern. If you are looking to play intellectual gamesmanship, I’m happy to play, but would rather simply discuss trading strategies. Please excuse my Dunning Kriuger moment, but there are so many trading edges, there is not enough time to trade them all. Grin. Some of these edges are AI resistant for at least the near future because they use less tangible inputs. Besides, I’ve already solved my trading strategy grand unification theory, and that is a 10-4.
I don't care, so I win. Only reason I'm here at all these days is it coincides that when I retired, fucking Covid started Have I ever seemed like I was paying that much attention? Don't over think. Just do. Oh and have some people who's job it is to make sure you didn't just make a terrible mistake. That helps. So that should have been stairs/escalator not elevator before. This is why everyone needs someone checking everything they do. Saves 99 percent of mistakes.
