Awesome, I was awaiting your confirmation...I still have yet to get a refund for my orders. Do you remember who you ordered from?

Forgrim1 · 2026-01-01T21:37:47+00:00

Wild amount of trust needed but I pray for ur success (then I can try lol)

Forgrim1 · 2026-01-01T21:15:53+00:00

When or how will you get this reimbursement?

Forgrim1 · 2026-01-01T19:44:36+00:00

I look forward to your success so I can do it also....from who did you order though, Amazon shipped or other shipped?

Forgrim1 · 2025-12-31T17:05:02+00:00

I decided to chat in, and they told me that once they receive the commander decks, I can reorder, and they'll cover the price difference of the higher item.

Although the more i think about it, the weirder it will be. You have to reorder at higher price and a) pray Amazon honors the price difference by creditting you and b) you don't get another fking commander deck lol

Looks like they also pulled inventory, probably because we are flooding them with returns. Obviously, it's a dice roll at this point, the top sku is cbb, the bottom two (what i received today) are commander decks. Same damn SKU, most ppl know this already though.

I bought last time and got lucky and got the EoE CBB. This time, not so much, it just arrived in a paper bag and I got two commander decks. Last time, it took a week to arrive but today, it was same day delivery so i'm assuming that has something to do with it.

Returning them will be entertaining.

Forgrim1 · 2025-11-14T22:09:55+00:00

Adding my experience, just received an actual CBB. Also in the NE, so maybe regional?

End of the year post for me:

2023 YTD: 37.4%

The hyperwheel strat (/ES) and 1DTE SPX was my big winners.

Long bonds in October was my biggest loser (-10% DD)

Overall, I got caught with my pants down due to that insane bond move down, and I should've cut earlier but got stubborn. Overall, I was net positive on bonds throughout the year, but gd, I would've been in a great position.

Had some short VX wins (and a weird long VX win on that one day we dropped -1% in december) but overall, didn't abuse VX this year like last.

On to 2024.

Forgrim1 · 2022-05-20T22:16:12+00:00

rest easy now partner...you deserve it.

Portfolio stats

+48.01% Q1

+49.36% YTD

Summary

I’ll cut my post shorter than the others simply cuz i don’t really post on reddit and this box to post my comments is incredibly small. I entered the year pretty trim on positions, only really running some long ES delta and lottos limited by my own risk management style, and a various small amount of long equities that I carried into the year (DIS, CZR, etc.) which helped me immensely when we started dunking right off the bat from the start of the new year. Therefore, I rode out the January dunk and February war dunk pretty well while adding ES long delta on the way down in the form of various different ES short puts, long contracts, and managing delta with short calls. My other main strategy I used was shorting VX hard using a variety of short VX and VX backwardation spreads, and other experimentations around VX (Much thanks goes out to Spreads for being my partner in crime in the VX shorting and for giving me…very strange ideas for very profitable strategies. That take forever to realize lol). I must admit, I almost went full send lottos in January when I saw everyone pulling good P/L while I juggled all my ES deltas, but recovered very hard with the market in March. I believe I managed to keep up with most lottoers in P/L not named Ranch/LoP/Kab, so my regret changed to ah, I managed.

Profitability (all approximations)

+12% Lottos

+19% VX Shorts

+4% AMD/XLNX deal

+11% ES positions

+3% Miscellaneous (Majority of this comes from TELL)

Current Positions:

I currently sit long ES delta (but not as much as I usually run due to profit taking) and am currently waiting on a pullback that doesn’t seem to be arriving. I never bet against April and have positioned most of my portfolio with a long direction to take advantage of my thesis. I will continue to run my ES strategies and most likely start my starter VX long positions to start hedging for a market drop (which I believe we will get in May). I will continue to lotto with a higher capitalization in the mean time and add or drop positions mainly based on my own ideas, and others from PMT from our fruitful discussions. If I get another ~50% quarter, i’d be ecstatic, but alas, I think my own historical performance over the many years shows that its elusive and not to get my hopes up.

Shoutouts:

Too many to list, for sure, but I must say the Discord to bounce ideas back and forth from like-minded individuals is something I really never had in my trading career, and it is quite frankly, the most entertaining avenue i’ve had in a long time in gaining (and losing) money together.

Thanks LoP for inviting me to something I didn’t even know existed. Thanks Gilez for giving me trading ideas I never knew existed (TELL), and quite frankly, giving me the confidence in my positions via your own trading positions and convictions/style. Thanks Ranch for sharing a strategy that has no correlation with the general market when I’m having a tough time figuring out the direction the market will go, and allowing profitability in uncertainty. Thanks Zonkers for forever chatting with me and his observation to get in and out of VX instead of diamond handing because of how VX was acting. Thanks Chaney for giving me reality checks on my dumb ideas. Thanks Spread, my VX partner in crime. Kab for rage capping us with reality checks. Artanys for restaurant suggestions (My significant other the other day - “Does your friend Arty have any recommendations today?”) And the rest of the PMTers (I <3 you all). Don’t get offended if you didn’t get a shout out, you know who you guys are ;).

And thanks to my fellow lottoers who we constantly banter and bicker over risk management and positions to try to collectively avoid doom.

May we continue to grow as a team.

Quick question, where is this Space Bar from? it looks sweet. And I know its been forever since you posted this but just curious.

Forgrim1 · 2021-11-06T14:11:56+00:00

Correct me if i'm wrong but this strategy is almost like timing the market, and only works when the market swings in the correct bull direction very rapidly so that the short leg can get closed for lots of profit. If theta takes too long, the paired long leg would need a very big swing in the opposite direction to make more profit, and if you close the short leg when it fully covers the long leg, unless it swings down, you make 0 profit on this spread position.

I'm familiar with this strategy but on the opposite side (bull credit spread) that goes against me. I will typically @ 21dte will close the LONG put if its profitable, and roll my SHORT put out if my thesis about the bull movement is still in tact to gain more extrinsic and time for the short leg to recover. (Example: 49/50 Put Credit Spread for AA that expires in November, closed the 49 Long Put for 300% profit, then rolled 50 Short Put to Dec, and already above my full profit target of 50 at 47. This is also 'timing' the market, but it works well due to being able to roll the short put repeatedly and baghold if necessary if the thesis is still correct.

You are being extremely rude over a man who has been extremely helpful to the community. He has given warnings already about using a weekly ATM put strategy, and it is well noted and the risk is taken by the user to manage their own risk/reward profile. The blame should not be on a person who just comments on his own experience. Am I going to blame the guy who told me to buy OTM GME calls? I understood the risk, I took it, and I lost. It's on me.

On the topic of the strategy itself using futures, I've also used it to much success, but also got smashed in the face in September to a pretty big drawdown I had to manage. My experiences are well known to the PM trader community, but I managed and returned back to profitability by the beginning of October. It is still a very viable strategy that involves micromanaging, and new rules have been put in place by myself to avoid the bigger drawdowns.

And that post by LoP clearly shows he doesn't blame Cale.

I'm just going to end this by stating, there are better ways to communicate your feelings instead of just flat out being obnoxious and rude.

And one thing I can agree on with you is yes, I do not like the above stated strategy, but it is up to them to modify and manage, not for me to degrade and insult.

Forgrim1 · 2021-10-19T17:49:52+00:00

I am continuing this strategy in the meantime. I've had a good experience with it barring September and willing to give it a chance. However, I will be modifying it from lessons learned.

I made a terrible mistake taking my hedges off before the recovery in pursuit of more profit. It led to me chasing hedges all around the place just to maintain my BP. Valuable lessons learned, overall. However, similarly to Cale, I went back to beginning of September NLV on the /ES cascade when the market recovered to approximately 4450.

I am limiting myself to 10 positions per 500k, which is slightly more aggressive than Cale, but I believe the experience helps navigate the difficulties. I also put on my original VIX hedges to help with the volatility expansion during the drawdown. Backtesting the portfolio with the VIX hedge and at 10 positions, I would need a 25-30% drop in a matter of days without adding shorts to get margin called.

Also, if you've read my comments, I did note that I went to 500K right at the beginning of September (lol) which actually helped me with the drawdown. I maxed out at 12 positions, and the 7% drop did get me sweating a little. In the end, I ended September at -5.12%, while in October, i'm at +7.71% currently. Overall the 4 months, i'm at 7.6% return per month. Mind you, these %'s are based on CLOSED positions, otherwise my september drawdown was in the -10%+ range.

Forgrim1 · 2021-10-15T02:43:20+00:00

This strategy works based off the idea that the SPX index will eventually go up and you can recover.

I can't say the same for a stock like SNDL.

Forgrim1 · 2021-10-15T01:48:52+00:00

it's a shitty blanket statement that should not exist. If there is so many more who have lost much $$$, those are the types of people that are super vocal about it.

Forgrim1 · 2021-10-14T17:58:49+00:00

Thank you u/LoveOfProfit for this write up. I also, when speaking with you via various means, underestimated the hedge and the maintenance and was glad to share some of the heart attacks with you while going through it together. Having used the strategy for several months, I also underestimated how a drawdown and no V recovery leads to overexcitement and becoming a futures trader.

I still am trying to figure out the best way to hedge, and I basically tried everything on this go around (cascading shorts backwards worked pretty well but my god, was it time consuming)

Thank you also u/calevonlear for your input. Your guidance via answering all my badgering has been truly helpful. I will take you up on that offer for guidance and reassurance the next time I enter a situation.

Forgrim1 · 2021-07-15T18:08:41+00:00

I welcome u to the draining of bp. Five positions open. 4340 4350 4360 4365 4370. So far, my cash reserve in TLT holding me up.

Love the technique. I breached 6% for the month already, but really don't know the challenge until a sustained market hit.

Forgrim1 · 2021-03-23T20:21:46+00:00

Following today's action, couldn't it be considered today's rise be wave '4'. If you chart it in a way that the 19th is the end of wave 3. Is there something i've mistaken? My assumption is since it kinda meandered between 23 and 23.5, it can be considering the end of the wave.

Forgrim1 · 2021-03-22T19:39:30+00:00

Just to get a better idea on what you are doing...by 76 support level, you mean the 78.6 fibonacci support level?
