ReEngaging after a long drought

It's been a long time since I've sat to seriously write my trading thoughts. However, as the New Year approaches I once again feel the urge to type.

Realistically, it wont be a daily thing. To be honest, it will be whenever the inspiration strikes. My goal is to take the notebooks and post-its around my desk and turn them into coherent thoughts. I no longer have the privilege of sitting next to the Practical Thinker, but I'm still seated next to the fabulously brilliant Neapolitan Man and we're looking forward to bringing on one other individual to help with the increased bandwidth. I'll probably be the primary writer, but their ideas will greatly influence what gets put out here. 

We'll stick with what we believe we know best. Mainly Fed Fund and EuroDollar futures and options, as well as some yield curve materials. We haven't traded a yield curve product for at least a quarter if not two, but our goal is to add them back into the arsenal of toys. When our newest member Mr.PrD {Philosophical Rail Defender} joins us at the first of the year I expect that we'll add commentary in the FX and hard commodity {GLD/CL} areas.

In terms of updating what we have on for the last few weeks of December, don't let this disappoint you...we've got virtually nothing on. A few small scattered option trades here and there, a tiny FFs book, and a scant amount of ED 1x2 double flys. As the New Year rolls around, we'll be looking to build a position and running timeline to track our success and failure!

Closing Note:
I don't plan on pasting large amounts of non-original content on here any more. I'll use my Twitter account to repost articles that I find useful. Feel free to join along in the fun @LeftHash
