Well I see the old gang is still at it. Been off for a couple of months doing cancer stuff. 2011 I lost 30% of my account. 2012 a leetle bit, not sure how much, maybe 1% more, or lets see think I gained 1% back. Lets see what 2013 brings? Still not back up to $10,000 anyway. I've got...

What is PA?

Whoops! A virus had caused havoc with my computer, so I had my hard disc wiped and reloaded again with Windows 97. Because of that I have been asked for password here. Yikes! I got used to automatic entry. What do you know, I managed to guess my password right. I see no mention, but...

Darn! I really didn't expect such sympathy from lurkers. Thank you very much, I was just trying to explain why my posts have been so few. Second trade I was holding made it's profit target, so I'm encouragd again. FILLED ! Nice present that, albeit in paper money. Cash next signal...

Well I've been paper trading the last two months, or more. I theeeenk I finally have worked out a new option trading system. Very difficult trading the IWM index with such a low VIX of 14 or 15, which is a bull market. I get a signal in the new signal, will try cash, albeit a minnow bite...

Boy this is difficult to trade. Even in paper money, I'm still losing ! Such a low VIX. The ATR is too narrow. I'm going to switch from IWM to OEX, see if that will improve things.

Well I've been playing with my technicals, trying to better read and forecast trades. Made a bit today, about $230, not real money, but was happy to see a new indicator worked. I've got one trade still open, but will close it tomorrow, win or lose I think. I'm not sure what to do. I show a...

Ryan Patrick is back and in full swing. For the disbelievers the first go around earlier in the year when Ryan made over 500% if my memory serves me, his comeback after an absence. Show his $2500 stake out of his IRA, up to $4899 today, is 95% gain on his account. Not sure on the time period...

Good for you! I'm in the doldrums here. Trading IWM, straight buys.

Weell, I missed this run up. It started and I missed it. Thought of chasing it and decided not too. For the PUT losers on "my option trades", not trading is a good decision too. ( grin )

Had to change my mother board in the computer and lost all my bookmarks. I had one for ATR numbers, for any stock, but now cannot find the original site. Anybody else use it? Would like to find it again.

Oooookay! On my second bet using the new system, I closed out too soon. I won a $100 and could have expected to win $300. But was scared out, and working on the hypothesis, that winning something and not having a loser was better for me. As the day progressed, I would have earned my $300...

Failed second time around. I can't count the times I've failed. Getting in sync with the market is a tricky thing for me. When it's good, it's good, but otherwise the other is more often.

I'm one! ( shouting at the top of my voice )

No strategy. Just technical TIMING for a straight buy and a small nibble in cash of .30 cents profit, without trying to chase the prices. Once bought, just enter a sell order and let it ride. Too soon to tell, but give it two months and will know more. My theory is to see if I can get a...
