Closed Out the Week a Loser — But Still Hot Handed

I can easily blame my friend for invading my house and causing me to lose money this week, and I will. I was unable to get a proper handle on the tape. Have a look at my booked trades this week.

You see all that green you fucking pussies? My core holdings are static, so those are all extra day trades and/or hedges that I hold and close out overnight.

“If you’re so good, how come you didn’t make any money and hang out with us bums?”

Because, unfortunately, my weekly quant happened to have several oil stocks — which were down on avg 7% this week and I also have a fucking OPRA position that is now down 14% or $7k. That was the difference. I am now TRAPPED in OPRA because liquidity dried up.

If I had been wired the fuck into the matrix, I would never have let myself fall prey to a liquidity trap and also I’d do more to protect my downside.

HAVING SAID THAT, in spite of the losses I still traded masterfully and have not lost my touch. I just need to focus more intently on what I am doing and really try for one or two more big days for the balance of February.

I closed 131% leveraged long, no hedges.
