VOLATILITY CRUSHED, PART DEUX

“Where have I seen this before!?”  

No real volatility trades to do today, as there isn’t any time for them to work 
… and judging by the FED actions today, anybody in GBPJPY is getting hurt 
as I write. Onto tomorrow, and we’ll see what happens. Simply a wasted day 
that couldn’t be avoided.
  
Have a great day everybody!

WHEN THE SCUMBAG LP’S WORK FOR YOU!!

“Guess where I’m standing!?”

“They keep making me take their money”!

Today sees a great bunch of trades on the signals service, not only via “binary 
option arbitrage”, but also in the Russell 2000 [RUT2000] “call spreads”, where 
I utilized our “volatility call spread strategy”, to profit just shy of 100% on MAX 
THEORETICAL risk capital in the trade … looking at a more realistic risk 
profile, it was well above 200%+! And while today’s blog post may seem a bit 
lengthy, do yourself a favor and wade through it and understand “why & how” 
we rang the register today with a series of trades that were “RISK FREE” & a 
“call spread” that had a 99%+ profit probability BUILT INTO IT, when I put 
it on last night right after the open … “this mi amigos, is the way to trade”!!

First trade I put up was the RUT2000 “volatility call spread strategy” where I 
got a very good price in the 2 CS’s combined at 7.5 index points. The NADEX 
CONFIRMATION EMAILS are directly below.

Once I had that trade on, I immediately went to the “binaries” and found 2 
“binary option arbitrage” opportunities, in the RUT2000, that provided risk 
free returns at expiration. Basically, I’m buying the lower strike prices at 
lower prices than I’m selling the higher strike prices at higher prices … “it’s 
risk free money folks, do the math”! … those NADEX EMAIL 
CONFIRMATIONS directly below.





At this point, I turned my attention to the WTI Crude Oil binaries, and put on 
another “risk free” trade. The NADEX CONFIRMATION EMAILS directly 
below.



OK, sit back and relax, and let the scumbag LP’s do their “schtick”, and work 
for us, and hours later I see on the P/L, on my NADEX screen, another 
discrepancy in crude oil, except this time, they’ve taken the 2 binaries I’m 
positioned in, and “flipped the script” to the other side!! … “again, you’re 
twisting my arm to take the money, but OK, you talked me into it”! … I see the 
profit over and above what I should be making at expiration, and I liquidate 
immediately pocketing the cash for the signals service. Directly below, the 
NADEX EMAIL CONFIRMATION of the WTI Crude Oil liquidations.



Ok, so what do we have here: at expiration, I should pocket about $40 from the 
position, if both out of the binary range … here are the prices: in the 48.80 
binary, B5 @78.75 - S5 @50.75 = -28.0 = -$140. In the 48.90 binary, S5 @87.25 - 
B5 @35.75 = +51.50 = +$257.50. So instead of waiting for expiration, I’ll take 
the $257.50 - 140 = $117.50 … “thank you, come again”!

Headed into the NYSE open, and meanwhile, GOLD IS DEAD … so, in case 
anybody is wondering if I can multitask here, the answer is obviously yes, but 
headed into stocks opening, we get a little pop in price in the RUT2000 to the 
1400 level, and … BING … BANG … BOOM! … “CUZ THE MATH 
DOESN’T LIE SKIPPY”, and probability theory delivers the goods again! 
Remember, going into this “volatility call spread strategy” position last night 
just after the open, we got a 99%+ probability of profit in this position, with 
even the tiniest of moves in the RUT2000 … “and again, they twist my arm to 
take the money, so I’m gonna do it”! Directly below, the NADEX EMAIL 
CONFIRMATIONS of the CS liquidations.



On the 1390 - 1420 RUT2000 call spread, I bought 1 lot @ 1394.5, and then 
sold it this morning @ 1401.0, for a profit = +6.5 index points = $65. On the 
1360 - 1390 RUT2000 call spread, I sold 1 lot @ 1387.0, and then bought it this 
morning @ 1387.0, which was a wash trade … commissions on this was $4, so 
I netted $61. MY MAX THEORETICAL RISK IN THIS POSITION WAS $75, 
so based on that I returned approximately 80% … in reality, though, the risk 
of loss is about half the theoretical, or $37, and on that amount the position 
returned approximately 170%.

With daily ranges in the RUT2000, well into the 20+ index points, if equal sides 
of this “synthetic straddle” are priced approximately the same, then all it takes 
is the tiniest of moves ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, for one side to “pop” for 
profit, while the other side remains dormant or loses very slightly … it doesn’t 
really matter which way the market goes, cuz the losing side is “capped” by 
either its floor or ceiling and can’t go farther … the profit side, though, has 
room to run … and cuz of this, these 2 CS’s together at as a traditional  
“straddle” when it comes to profit. “And we know, cuz we’ve done the homework 
in terms of 1) the 20 Day Range MA, and 2) SDEV, where the historical 
probabilities are in relation to how “little” the day’s range is likely to be, and 
when both sides of the CS are done with equal pricing, it doesn’t take much to 
make good money … and it doesn’t hurt to have the laws of probability on your 
side either”!

So, assuming all of our binaries expire worthless, we got 117 [oil binary] + 61 
[CS RUT2000] + 40 [other RUT2000 binaries] = +$218 in a small account, 
where all the positions I did could have been taken with less than $2 in the 
account … “that’s 10%+ in a day, with no risk in some, and very little risk in 
the other … find me another place where I can trade strategies like this for 
profit … Turnkey, Assets FX, PAX Forex, or any other offshore brokerage 
house? … Nope, not even close … “this is the better way to trade folks”!

Bottom line is this: “I’ve flipped the script on the scumbag LP’s in these major 
markets … no longer am I at their mercy … now, they work for me, cuz 
whenever they go and screw longs or shorts, I’ll be there to take profits on the 
winning side, while the losing side goes nowhere … Marie Antoinette trading if 
you will, cuz I got my cake and I’m eating it too”! Combine this with the 
binaries, and some days you don’t even need to trade oil or anything else for 
that matter, to turn a small account into a big account!

Today alone, one frickin’ day, pays for 2 entire years of service signals … “we 
had more risk of getting hit with a meteorite today, than losing money”! And if 
you don’t have a large account to trade, you know how hard it is to grow an 
account to a size that matters. If you don’t understand what I’m doing, take 
the time to learn … once your head “gets this”, you head will explode!

Onto tomorrow, where the FED takes center stage at 2PM EST … I’m outta 
here … good day today, let’s do it again tomorrow!! … until then mi amigos 
… Onward & Upward!!

UPDATE 4:15PM EST: Our 4 remaining binaries in RUT2000 have expired 
worthless, so no windfall today, other than what I reported earlier for our risk 
free trades.

Have a great day everybody!

GIMME MOAR!

“Understanding NADEX!”

Before I get started today, coming off weekends, NADEX “call spreads” & 
 “binaries”, don’t open until 3AM EST Monday morning … this is a pain in 
the ass, cuz it means we might miss some days of “free money” in “binary 
arbitrage”, and also means the stock indices will move in Asia away from 
preset “call spread” floors & ceilings, thus disrupting spread pricing … and 
all that makes shit more expensive, which is not what we want. 

Today starts off, though, with some MOAR free money, specifically in the 
RUT2000, & WTI Crude Oil binaries, and the recommendations went out 
early today to signal service subscribers … both offered lower binary stikes 
cheaper than higher strikes priced higher … therefore, free money … we’ll 
wait to the close today to see if we can get anymore out of it, if by chance the 
markets close between their respective two strike prices … I’ll have more near 
the close. In any event, I did 5 a side in both and directly below, the NADEX 
EMAIL CONFIRMATIONS, first for WTI Crude Oil, and then the RUT2000.
Here are the WTI Crude Oil fills.

The crude oil trade is guaranteed profit of minimum $41.00, and the 
RUT2000 is guaranteed profit of minimum $31.25 … we’ll see what the close 
brings.

One algorithm buy signal in crude oil today … good entry, lousy liquidation 
looking for more than I should have … “aaaaaaand it’s gone”, where a 20 cent 
profit becomes an approximate 7 cent profit in seconds … welcome to oil mi 
amigos! Directly below the NADEX CONFIRMATION EMAILS for the trade.



All told today, the 2 binary “risk free” arbs netted a total of approximately 
$72.00 & the oil algorithm trade $7, so the total for the day was about $79 
before commissions … an a $1k account, that’s over a 7% rate of return on 
margin, and for the majority of the gain, the risk to capital was “0”, so our 
rate of return is infinite … “this is the better way to trade”!

Onto tomorrow, which is tonight at 6PM EST, when the market reopens for 
tomorrow’s trade date, and as usual we’ll be scanning risk free arb trades for 
the binaries, and “call spreads” where our profit probability is over 99% 
… I’m outta here … until tomorrow mmi amigos … Onward & Upward!!

UPDATE 4:15 PM EST: Both of our binary arb positions expired worthless, 
leaving the signals service with a total gain of +$72.00. “They twisted my arm to 
make the trade, so I did it”!

Have a great day everybody!
