    Its not about if, its about how long will it take! Its just a question of time. Great going!

    Just one question - can you post your PL breakdown based on different greeks like deltaPL, gammaPL, thetaPL etc.

    EDIT: If daily is too much to ask, even monthly breakdown value would be great. The reason I ask is that I would like to see how the PL breakdown looks like for a vol trader. I trade only direction as of now.

  5. I am a little different; I only spend around 1-2 hours a day trading. Do you guys think that’s an issue in the long run?

  7. Lol, OK

    U do have a full time job besides trading? Or are u saying u can make a full living with organic money in 1-2 hours a day? If yes to the second question why not post some pl blotters? Excuses are so transparent IMO.

  8. I actually do have a job. IMHO posting dollar amounts is not very usefull, all that really matters is percentage gains or losses. I understand that “account size” makes a difference, it’s much more difficult to make huge gains with a 10 Mil account then a 10k account , but posting 500, 5k,10k 100k daily p/l does now say a thing if your strategy is good or not.
    For this time however i will post my $ profit for the year. YTD profit is close to 200k in 1 acount, and over 100k in second acount.

    It would be interesting to see Year-to-Date returns for 2012 from other traders.

  10. Of course it's an issue, over 300 g's at 500 hours thats $600.00 per hour, your dam right that's an issue. If you dare cut it down to 1 hour a day, you and I are going to have a real problem.
