  2. I noticed no ones chimed in yet on this.
    Thanks for posting your trades.
    What's the damage look like to date?
    Are you kicking ass and taking names? Are you planning to run this through 2011?

  3. thanks.
    not a great year. took some big hits in a couple option positons a few months back that set me back. trying to rework some strategies. took off month of july (too much non-trading work, and a couple vacations which were nice).
    since last week, i've been trying my hand at futures, which thus far has actually been very positive (to my own surprise). hopefully it continues. might suit my trading style i was attempting to employ with (the leverage of) options. buying naked calls/puts is difficult with the whole expiration issue - you have to be pretty precise on everything from price, to patterns, to timing. volatility right now is amazing though, and futures are providing quite an opportunity (when correct on direction!)
