I am now inclined to go back to Options as i am fairly versed with it. I have been through the psychology part and learnt the hard way on trade size and the rest. Imagine I once tried selling one leg of a GOOGL spread and had nearly $90k exposed by doing so - fortunately I eventually just lost...

Yeah I do have the CFD route but had been coy on margin call/leverage hence stayed with Options so far. I take due note on your remarks on Commodities which i haven't explored at all TBH....

@PPC after looking more and more into FX, i feel i will be more at ease with Options with EOD type trading. I did previously recollect going to Dan Sheridan's as someone else referred me to.... should have taken the full course then. Will revisit closer this time. @Ringandpinion thanks for the...

Thanks will follow through

@alistera thanks would definitely look forward to. Yeah I am looking at AUDUSD @getthatintoya Started with HK then moved to Dow - way better liquidity for Options. @rajesheck thanks would have a good read @ETJ staying in Oz at this stage but I wish i had the options here to join similar offices...

Hi, I was actively trading options few years ago but moved away due to being average (finished just below break-even) and other commitments. I am out of work and not getting back into it. Looking at Forex currently. I am looking any avenues to get better than before. Ideally, I wanted to join a...

Thanks heaps to everyone for the pointers. Yes it did install using the command pip install -e pythonclient which covers the solution given above I did start by watching the vids and reading the user guide. But was clueless since i just started learning Python (thought it would be easier since...

Hi, I followed through the steps on IB + other blogs on the web running TWS, TWI API (latest Windows based for Python). I keep getting the error message "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibapi'". I am assuming my connection is not established. I checked the Gloavl Config for Active X and...

I did go through the TT way and definitely is not the bible. As others said, you have to mix strategies as none would work forever. Have been assigned and seen how selling could be high risk. I now see the value of buying options (coming over the psychological barrier that buying makes you lose...

Have been reading the different links and services thanks to the thoughtful tips. Anyone could comment on SteadyOptions please - i.e if you are subscribed, are you happy with the service and would they provide trade alerts pre-market? (pre-market would help me due to time difference). Cheers

Thanks for the replies and hints. I particularly relate to the last post. I was just selling premium with low POP (and as expected going well until few big losses). And so true you need to get out of the bubble. I have started on Calendars, DNCS, flies, straddles at times, trading around...

Meant someone who is not losing money in the long run. Realize its hard to be consistently profitable but hopefully not losing all the time. In fact I just want to learn technique of choosing the right stock/ right time/ strategy used/ adjustment applied when going pear shape - i.e full cycle. I...

Hey Guys, I have done a fair bit of trading but have not really reached my sustainable objective. For me to move to the next level, i should follow some seasoned traders who make consistent money. Nothing is free lunch so happy to go for paid services or pay a fee to work alongside a mentor...
