How are U doing Lucrum?

I am afraid to state that you DO NOT seem to satisfactorly understand what statistical models are. There are two parts: statistics and the model. You focused on the numbers. You do not understand the model part. In order for a human brain to accept the trading model, he has to understand...

Because they are trend traders: they miss the beginning, and the end (1/3 each). So they make at best 4 points. That is for the win days. If you remove the losing days, and assuming 50% rate and remove cost of stops, then they make at best 2 points on average each day. Do you understand a...

One of a handfull of people (among all option people world including the pros/gurus/etc) who seem to have the right insight about ICs! I would add this: There are mathematical explanations for was described intuitively. They do not exist in any book I have across. I would pose another...

Thanks guys! The first wins the medal (the rookie guy failed again!) A question to oracle: are you assuming that the penny call will be worthless?

NoDoji: Excellent work! It is good to dine on the money of pin stripped uptight people from Wall Street. Wall street is the only place in the world where people who take the subway get payed by people who drive Mercedes/etc. :)

Hey guys, Be easy on Zanek. I know you want to tell him the truth, but I would precede it with nice words and also I would say the positives things in him first. It is not easy to lose money and keep up the good spirit. I think he has that as a big plus! Successful people know that if they...

C is back from 4.30 area to 4.05 area. :)

quote from your first post: "...Some forex gurus had predicted that the eur/usd would not be allowed to go much above 1.50 without intervention.." Who are the gurus? Examples?

There can be a good delay between ex-date and dividend payment date. How to get dividend captured using options in way the dividend is in the account on ex-date +1 or sooner? If you think it is impossible, explain why? First to answer will get a thread medal---the option rookies' guy...

CNXT: if earnings are real money, then who ever shorts that stock at current price is looking for trouble.

I traded this stock in after hours few moments ago. Sold at around 11.75, and I just covered at 11.25 because I was concerned that it might continue higher in regular trading. It today closed at 10.18 today. This seems to be a strange stock (was less than a dollar 6 months ago). Any...

That was the top of C!:p Zanek: Good you are learning something new. BTW: did U trade today with real money? If you did not, you made work for nothing :-) I made that analysis of C for you to give a sense of another person might be seeing. I only looked at C from your list of stocks. Cheers!

I just looked at C. It is now at $4.31/32 at around 1.48PM. If I had bought this stock, I would take my profits right at this price, or at most 3 cents higher if it ever gets higher in the first place. I sense sellers at around 4.33 to 4.36. Good trading!

Here is another conceptual game that might be played. Stock XYZ has a high PE. XYZ buys a company with low PE stock. The shares of the low PE business all of sudden becomes very high PE, and at the same time increase worth of stock XYZ. So it is in playing with non-linear algebra to increase...

Turn chart upside down, or standup on your feet if you head is down.

When a stock is coming down, and hits the bottom. It can do two things: go horizontal/small range, or bounce in V shape the same day. V shapes are rare. So from this perspective, the chances might not be on your side, but this does not mean that your system is not about to pick a great move...

NoDoji: I am going to ask a strange question. I like Neke's thread but have not visited for sometime. Now the BUT! One day I came across an order of his where he had the number of puts he bought. I went to the option chain, and found numbers that did not make sense if he had made those...

I looked at the stock you mentioned in a post in your previous page (or the page before that in case this post is at the top of a new page). I will NOT trade it, I only looked at it out of curiosity. Do you invite comments on your stock candidates? If you are interested to know some comments...

1. Thanks for the complements. 2. I was not suggesting that you work for others, but rather that someone work for you and get paid only if s/he delivers so that you minimize your business cost and maximize profits. 3. I noticed that you were independent thinker and also well structured. But, I...
