    Are there any mentors out there?

    I don't think you are required to buy all of the optionvue stuff(call them to be sure). I'm talking about Dan Sheridan, he is a fantastic teacher. I'm not even sure what affiliation he has with optionvue, if any, to be honest. Give him a call about options, i'll bet dollars to donuts he...

    Are there any mentors out there?

    Hedge Funds invest in India

    No, right now. I can count 4 just this week alone. All of them fully funded rarin' to go with at least $300M, each. Evidently, they think the selling is over. What say you ET'ers? I may dip my toes long BSE 100 for a few ticks.

    If you didnt make money today

    Actually, 25% of the market volatility via the VIX, was sucked out, down over 5 full points today. But the range of movement of the SPX was HUGE at over 26 points. Why was so much vol sucked out of the market on such a big move day? Doesn't this turn the concept of variance around a mean...

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    I agree that other markets are more difficult to get fills like FCOJ, coffee, etc. My point was that spx trades roughly $5 billion daily, hence when push comes to shove, a market order can get u out relatively easy whether you're Bill Gates or Tom, Dick and Harry.

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    If anyone, you are the one with the condecending tone on coach's thread. It does seem to me(as it does others on this thread) that you are hoping for an extra whippy market to shake out the newbie's on here trying to learn a proven successful strategy. Then, when the market sells off 80+ points...

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    I have to respectfully disagree with this statement. While I do agree it's not a good thing to be a 'one trick pony' for any trader, I don't feel the viability or profitability will be coming to an end for the credit spread strat(under proper risk management). Think about it, the higher the vol...
