My position sizes are based on the Van Tharp code I posted for you earlier - the ATR(20) for DUST is pretty large. I use a $1000 drawdown as the point where I double down, once only. So on DUST I shorted 250 shares at $38 and was ready to short another 250 shares at $42 (didn't have to).

You've been doing great with the short trades, and your discipline has been extraordinary. Nice.

I think a little more down for DUST tomorrow and I can't foresee Xiv marching up without a washout.
It's been moving towards 115 like I called but, it's really really over due for a correction.
No one, and I mean nobody has been able to correctly predict spikes in Vix, not here, not on C2 not anywhere. Sometimes I've nailed it by comparing prior setups but that's it.

4-5 doctors agree, Ung heading to 20 bucks is not far fetched.
Double your money suckerz...

Guess I just bought Dust and Ung. I hypothetically bought Xiv. Minds getting old.

I have partnered up on a real estate deal costing 820k. In 2007 the value of of this property was 1.9 m.
So, this will now leave me with merely 16,500 to trade daily.
When an amazing opportunity arises, you can't pass it up.
Real estates where it's at. Not saying trading is for the lower tier or anything, there are some amazingly intelligent people trying to push a boulder up a mountain but, you know.

nice shillihs. which do you enjoy more? I like investing and trading more, even though like yourself I made more in real estate.
I did not enjoy working with real estate agents and contractors much. Plus when I took out a note I had a PG on it, so if it went sideways it could be detrimental. money is in larger clumps. much more risk in real estate I think. and when money comes and goes in large clumps, people do some really unethical things. but everyone has a working environment they like more than others.
