Huh, blog? Wha?

Oh, right. This thing.
Trading proceeds apace. I've suffered setbacks (largely related to having difficulty learning to trade in a no-vol environment) and had to kick in more funds. At this point in time (ironically at the point in time that vol seems to be settling back in more or less) my funds are so low that I can barely participate.

I'm still struggling along with a couple calendars and some iron condors and I seem to be getting better at making a small buck. It really helps that my commission structure has been changed to a flat $1.50 per contract (thanks Dough.com!) so the IC only costs $6 each way instead of nearly $13 >.<

In unrelated news I've started studying C#. And because I'm retentive like that I've Git-ed the example code I've been playing with, available here.
