though I did list two books that I wouldnt mind seeing in the review section. Also "Fooled By Randomness" was good. "Against the Gods" is another title that I think has merit. "Option Theory" by Peter James is another, not that Im promising to write reviews for all of them :D

but I think there needs to be a balance between the ability to add new titles in a title in a timely fashion with the needs to control 'spam' on the board. I do think that there certainly are other books not in the Book Section that are clearly worthy of some reviews / discussion. Dynamic...

The book review section seems pretty poorly designed. I wanted to review a book a while back but there didnt seem to be anyway to add a new Title to review (The book I wanted to discuss wasnt already listed). I really think this could be a useful feature if only you could add new titles easily...

Yea, that makes sense to me. Also I hope that my post didnt come off as flaming anything, as I find that there is way too much of that already going on at ET. So in recapping youd find it bullish if after a big move down we dont close the morning gap up and continue higher, like this morning...

Hey Waggie, Do you have some data that shows this precendence by any chance? Interesting in general though.

In general Im not sure that its fair to assume anyone's analysis is right or wrong based on any one given call. Its in the track record that a correlation between call and performance can be made.

Thanks Mav. These are really some of my fav's. I did go to film school so my taste in films is a little out there, plus Im obsessed with Luis Bunuel as a filmaker, since I think hes the most under-rated. Heres to hoping the only film that you've already seen isnt Flash Gordon (which I do...

Blow Up The Knack (which seems strangely relevant to trading). The Obscure Object of Desire 8 1/2 Belle du Jour Discreet Charm of the Bourgeouis Yojimbo (the film that 'A Fistful of Dollars' shamelessly steals from) And Flash Gordon , I mean c'mon Its Flash Gordon :D

sorry couldn't resist. :D

Yea there is no way that your intelligence is less than mine :p

Understood. Thanks :D

I thought were best in sideways markets. If one is expecting a large move regardless of direction, why would one chose a calendar spread? Not flaming just curious.

Id recommend Galeon as a web browser.

First Id like to say thanks Murray for talking me through this very exciting topic :p What is vega's book? And are you saying that Mav, scales in / out of his positions in a week (I.E. He takes 5 market days to scale in to a position. 5 days out. ). Im also alittle confused about what type of...

Hmm, I use time loss as well for my long premium trades, but I dont adjust my stop loss based on it. In your experience Murray, what does that accomplish for you? I guess Im trying to understand why the stop loss as a % of the option's value alone , wouldnt take care of excessive time decay.

Where stop loss orders are a big part of my risk management approach, I'm still not quite sure what is an "optimal" value for where a stop loss order should be set :confused: Is there any good books on risk management specifically for the derivatives crowd? Currently I use a % loss from my cost...

Whats wrong with that, I ALWAYS buy at the open with market orders. :p

I send my best regards to you and all that are affected by this. Thanks again for sharing with us this experience, Im sure that this will help someone, somewhere avoid a similiar road.

I would but it might turn out to be Mr. Market and he'd take all my finest meats and cheeses :p

All the features of the original for half the price!!:p
