one phone buys · one phone sells

The laptop was never his and it is still not a laptop, so he has been working off the phone since the shop stopped returning calls. When Apple put two of them on a hinge he did not preorder one, he preordered the pair, because he had been holding two phones exactly like that for years and the hinge was the only part he had been missing.

Left screen buys. Right screen sells. The counterparty on every trade he has printed this quarter is the other hand, the spread goes to nobody in particular, and the net across both screens has been zero since March, which he describes as being flat on purpose.

Desk note

Two screens, one book. The price walks between the bands: when it sinks into the green band the left phone arms and you can buy, when it climbs into the red band the right phone arms and you can sell. Eight round trips and he will show you the damage.

How the desk worksthree parts · one hinge · no counterparty

The hinge

He says the hinge is the innovation and he is not being funny about it. Two phones held apart by a hand is a man with a problem; two phones held apart by a hinge is a desk, and a desk can be written off.

The thumbs

Left thumb has been long since eleven, right thumb has been short since eleven fifteen, and the two of them have not spoken since. He fills at the mid and blames the other hand for the slippage every single time.

The tie

The tie is there because the exchange asks for a photograph and a photograph of a man in a tie is a firm. That is the whole firm. Compliance, risk, execution and the other side of the trade all fit inside one collar.

Spec sheettwo screens · one supply · nothing folded away

Total supply
1,000,000,000

One number on both screens. It says the same thing on the left as it says on the right, which is more than can be said for the man holding it.

Liquidity
LP burned

Nothing behind the hinge, no second battery, no reserve wallet that turns out to be his other phone. That one was already the joke and it has been used.

Tax
0%

Nothing on the buy, nothing on the sell, no charge for the hinge and no upgrade fee for the second screen. Only the Robinhood Chain gas, which he pays twice out of habit.

Ownership
Renounced

Mint and freeze revoked. He can lose both sides of a trade at once, and he has, but nobody can take what is in your wallet while he does it.

Eight round trips. Net 0.00.

Every fill printed, every fill settled, and on the other side of all eight of them was the hand you were holding it with. He has looked at both screens and called it a flat quarter with excellent volume.
