How are you guys making a profit without an edge? (Perhaps the question answers itself.)

Properly? Ignore it.

sounds about right...

Think about the consequences for your upside and downside.

Probably a bad idea to pay for trading courses (as they are almost all a waste of time, money and energy and will usually lead you in the wrong direction). The basic stuff is available for free and if you want to get paid a salary you can get an appropriate degree from a legitimate institution.

Just trying to help. At your recommendation, I took another look and it only confirmed my original opinion. I hope your trading goes well.

I agree that experience is very important, but what I was getting at is that while Investopedia does contain a lot of useful information, it is for the most part a basic site and for someone to be a good trader, especially for short term trading and definitely for options, they would need a lot...

Wouldn't it be nice to have the counterparties to all of your trades be people whose scope of knowledge was limited to what is available on Investopedia.

I guess you could fool around with them for a decade or so before realizing they are mostly extraneous. They do present a concise picture of history though, which can be useful for many timeframes depending upon what your trading style is.

You don't need bars or indicators.

Am I missing something? Your image looks like a good short starting somewhere on the second bar after the arrow (third bar from the end). Never mind the candles, but you've got falling prices on increased volume. That's the type of thing you should be looking for if you are trading directionally.

Why would you hate to admit that?

Not surprising.

Which strategies were you using to trade the vol at the time?
