[+11] u/SeaEnvironmental756: You’ve grown to millions and state that you’re still “full porting.”
You need to worry “how to size appropriately for account size” and then you won’t even have to worry about “how to not get spotted.”
[+5] u/papakong88: There are 250 trading days in a year. Therefore, spend 1/250 of your balance to buy options every day.
This will guarantee that you have enough money to trade for another year.
Spend less if you want to trade longer.
[+5] u/SDirickson: You seriously think traders are going to "hunt you down"? Dude, you're a tiny fraction of the action. Even if you do manage to generate enough activity to show up on scans, traders are going to respond to the market, not to you.
