    Would you close this DOTM short put?

    spin , true , I would of close this trade too. I just made a point that at the time of exit r/r is not at 9:1 ( than why not to reverse it ?)

    Would you close this DOTM short put?

    Hate to disagree with you on this one , MTE.An exit (entry) has an odds and probs of a new stand alone trade ( maybe even 1:1 ?).

    Boring US stock market presents future opportunity

    I still don't understand why WS ordered the FED to cut the rates and kill volty. Don't they have more opportunities to cheat and steal in fast markets ?

    the 51/49 stats are for CURRENT players that still in the game...eventually the 49/51 trader's account will bleed to zero and a newbie will take his seat. Give it some time and a successful 51/49 trader will become better than 95% ( inc the ones that left the game for good)
