why not just trade the thing? you'll make way more and not have to worry about marketing, support, etc.

took and passed the series 7 about 10 years ago. agree with the other posts about study materials. all i did was take the computer simulation tests (DOS back then) until i was about 95% on each one. i forget how long that took but it was at least a couple of weeks. didn't open any books...

I think McMillan says it's about 50/50. Look at it this way, when option strikes are created, there are usually the same number of strikes on either side, both puts and calls. How can 90% expire worthless? They can't. However, since every option does suffer from time decay, it might seem...

sle- that's not true of every firm. compensation figures are well known in many. and you know the guy next to you is MAKING money (an income), not losing money. as i said before, a famous options guy told me he didn't know of any retail customer consistently making money from options...

i was talking to a very well known options guru at a party a while back and i asked him if he knew of any retail investors making an income from options exclusively. his answer was that he knew of no one. subsequent to that converstaion however, i found that a friend of an acquaintance is...

db- mostly cci (woodie) and also ma crossovers in a smaller timeframe within a larger trend. don't know much about planetary alignment. dottom- i believe that i have some decent methods (nothing new or complex). you are correct on becoming a master of one thing. prox- really no reason...

I am currently going through a rough time daytrading. What I am proposing is that a small group form to support each other via email or chat room or whatever. This will require time and effort from all involved. Maybe exchanging written B Plans, trade parameters/setups, and following up at...

maybe it would help if you gave some specifics as to what you are looking for...

health care is available and first rate in bkk. bumrungrad is one of the top hospitals in all of asia. a friend just had lasik there. i've taken my girlfriend there before and they have a lot of western educated doctors. 5-star hotel? maybe 3 or 4 stars. blue cross blue shield is available...

"Anyone doing it? Anyone know if it can be done? And of course any related info about living (even for a while) as an American in Thailand appreciated (visas, work permits, taxes, degree of political danger, safety, ....anything)." i live in thailand and have now for two years, i...

i assume that's what you meant by "platform." drawbacks include startegies limited to two legs, and constant nickel and diming for data and/or scans. cost - i forget but i think around 1000. plus 600 a year for volatility data Plus 50 a month for option price data PLUS 50 a month for scans.

you play your own game. who cares how much money you make on a big up day? what about all those days the market was down or flat? pulling dough out on a steady and consistent basis is what counts if you are a short-term trader.

he passed away a few years ago.

man, you guys are idiots...

same thing happened to me on an option order. i thought i was filled but then had to re-enter two different times. and max pain-in-the ass, chill. it's a valid concern because it's not just an unfilled order; the order disappeared from the screen as if it were filled. i didn't realize it...

i live in thailand and there is talk of the same thing. but by law, prostitution is illegal here!

what do you find the best way to exit a position that is going against you, assuming that you are not in front of a monitor all day. for example (swing trade), a simple position of march 50 calls on msft (current price of 48.30), purchase price of 1.70. suppose in 4 days msft is down to 46.75...
