someone in this board's analysis is right. trading failure is not related to the method. the failure comes from the way you use your method. you need understand yourself, find something fit you. to me, I found I am logic man, love to reason, so basically not suitable to do day trading...

I bought lots of AAPL put options strike at 385 /390, some this week, some a little bit long (using some spread strategy to reduce premium risk, of course hurts my gaim). I reasoned AAPL will be 300 pretty soon, then 200, then struggle like NFLX. an apple a day keep doctor away. can not...

I do not have much experience in option trading. but I love the leverage, another thing is enoumous combinations to create many powerful strategies, like playing an intelligent game, full of fun. my simple way to profit from option is: long out of money calls or puts. of course the...

experience is the culpit of anxiety trading. human brain learns things by experience through association, generalization etc. driving a car most time is fun, but if you once had an accident, particularly serious one or almost killed you, you will never forget, when you pass that place...

you are doing good job. but as your title showed, you are trading for a living. I would like to see how you manage your account to make you a living. how to buy/sell when to buy/see is no brain stuff. so I am not interested in that. I have profit withdrawing rule, I withdraw profit...

I trade because I love $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I was the contrary. when I started to trade, I donot have rules. did things based on my common sense. yes, I was making money, I toke risks that I cannot bear, but through patient waiting, I ended up with unexpected gains. but somehow, I realized why I need go through the pain first, or if the...
