Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I was referring to options on stocks, I don’t have a platform with quotes for FX options. I do have experience with stock options but not direct experience with FX options. You were asking about opposite sides of Bear Call spreads, so I...

Nobody is going to give you free meal in the markets, most arbitrages don't last too long. There is reason why it is low :) Trade FX directly, or if you are attracted to options then go to stock options markets.

In my previous post I was referring equities options on USA makets, not FX options. FX options are pain in the butt, don’t bother with them, stick with equities/index options. If you liketo trade Forex, then trade Forex directly, it trends nicely, it is very liquid which saves you...

Ok, now you’ve have made your question more clear, but still I’m not sure what you mean by opposite of credit spread, because opposite of credit spread is a debit spread, and regardless which you decide to do, they have the same risk profile. Then you begin to write about bear...

I’m not sure what you mean by the other side. Market maker filling your order? Or selling versus buying the spread? Anyway, if you will trade spreads on highly liquid options on equities then the bid-ask spread shouldn’t be that much of a concern at this stage of your learning curve. The...

I think most new traders don’t understand that coming up with trading methodology is fairly easy. All they need to do is learn how to identify (couple of MAs will do) trend and simple support and resistance, and they could be on their way to make a decent living from around these simple...

:eek: I cannot believe it, you’re basically advising him to have naked short puts as way to mitigate risk from a downside shock ! :eek: :confused:

You're totally missing the point. The problem doesn't come down to trust. The problem is that you're focusing on technical analysis and trying to figure out which trading method/system is better. Traders are independent thinkers, they don't follow the crowd, they don't seek general consensus as...

For him it is far more easier to call me an "idiot" rather than considering that he is actually the biggest "factor" and "variable" in his life. :)

I agree with you, that's why these trades have to be taken at a zone of strong confluence and with price action and volume confirmation. :)

Once again your post is about justifying how you're a victim, you blame everything from the government through to migrants, instead of taking responsibility for your own actions and blaming yourself for where you got yourself. You blew your money in trading, you blew your money on failed...

Ok, no problem. Either way, the secret to riches is not in how much money you earn. There are many people who work as cleaners, laborers, or at McDonanlds, and some of them do become rich. Personally I don't believe that people who work at low paid jobs are dumb, they are just on a different...

You're 25 and you have had a job for14 years. LOL :D :D :D

Catching falling knives can be tricky, but in forex it is very profitable strategy if you enter at very strong support level where you usually get at least a small bounce to move your stop to BE and take part off and leave the rest on for a risk free trade. Also in FX you don’t have to be...

How about you just address the "real issue" of yours which is YOUR INABILITY TO MAKE IT AS A TRADER !!! LOL :D :D :D

That's because I have learned that I CANNOT control the "MARKET", it is totally out of my control. However I can control "MYSELF", so my focus is on "INTERNAL CONTROL". :D :D :D

One important distinction is this this. You don't have to be in optimal mental state 100% of the time during the trading day, but only when you have to make trading decision. Therefore in my opinion it is okay to vent off your emotions instead of stuffing them up. :)

First to your question in the previous post. The "???" he is referring to is the difference that is due to every trader's different beliefs (part of psychology), different mental strategies (part of psychology), different mental states (part of psychology), different decisions making (part of...

In order to get such salary, he would have to work much harder, he would have to stretch himself, he would have to sacrifice lots of time and take risks and go out of his comfort zone, therefore for him it is easier to blame others and act as a victim. Mother Teresa had no resources, yet she...

I disagree,...... trading is 100% psychology!!!
