Victor Niederhoffer - may his memory be a blessing.

The effect of this great man's early work on quantitative trading cannot be measured. His track record for some 20 years was unmatched. He told me over lunch circa. 2014 at The Harvard Club in NYC about all his mistakes - not a word about his wins.

He taught me it was almost always better to catch the 'other side' of the distribution [IYKYK]. He chastised me at times for not going for the kill when the edge was strong and growing. He taught that each speculation stands alone and the conditions that created it would never precisely repeat.

My favourite two sayings of his:

"..The mouse with one hole is quickly cornered.." - Have more than one way to exit a trade.

"..When you take into account the bid-ask spreads on out-of-the-money options, the edge is thousands of times less than zero.."

Goodbye. I love you.

@GreekTrader777 Beautiful, we fell in love with Crete. We go every summer

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@irigstocks Agreed. This was my poor performance on $AGEN yesterday. Scared money don’t make money

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@quantmindset @xavier_comas As long as there is opportunity to make a $1.00 per share. You can make plenty of $ year round, including summer.

@irigstocks Remove this post. Too much alpha

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@Mightyscalper I too got greedy after the first halt. Frustrating but tomorrow is another opportunity.

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@ineedsow Waiting till the open and will let it settle to see if we get another leg up.

@irigstocks Vietnam in a few weeks

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@Deconsecrated2 well said.

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@SexyShortSeller I am not sure what your short strategy is, however what is your LONG strategy? You seem to like the rush, perhaps breakout longs at the open would fit your personality. I would stick to one strategy for long/short and see how you do.

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@SexyShortSeller Buy low, sell high.

@t3chytrad3r It was a tough week for long biased traders in small caps. Great opportunities are around the corner!

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@t3chytrad3r @aRobotNamedSnax BMRA and WHLR were tricky. Live to trade another day.

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@SmallCapSmarts I aim for a 1.00 a day. Some days much more.
The .10-.20 trades add up at the end. Most of the time I’m done within the first hour.

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@irigstocks few.

@micahhyo Discipline equals freedom. As JP would say, “slow and methodical”

[SmallCap_Cowboy @SmallCap_Cowboy]

@ShortDaPos Go with the flow.
