Lol. No need to be snippy. You said futures trading is currently shitty. I'd argue it's the best it's been in weeks. Just confusing is all.
Give some credit where credit is due. This post was made the 31st of August. Two days later the S&P topped out at 4545.85 and is down around 120 points / 2,5 % as of Friday's Close. @volente_00 may not always have traded these calls in the best manner. Sometimes averaging down and seemingly taking large losses doing so. However, over the years, he's made a few remarkable calls. Not sure what the hit rate is on his actual calls, but I'm pretty sure he exceeds 50 % by a good margin. And that's all a trader needs if the R/R is good. I seem to remember his calls were even better before the Fed started juicing the markets.
I only see two trades both shorts during a time period that the index is up 11%. The first trade either stopped out ( maybe -4% ) or he let it run and is down 11%. The second he's up roughly 2%. His posted down side targets on this one suggest someone who is chasing their losses. So at best down 2% during a time period that simply owning the index made 11%. Now if he gets the 4150 it's not terrible. However, if we grind up to 4700+ by end of year it is terrible.
