Yep, if you're not doing it on one ticket (buy write) than you want to own stock first. Covered calls work great on a stock that you may already be profitable on and you want to sell and take profits. Instead of selling stock outright in the market you can sell a call and get paid to get rid of...

I don't think you should stress too much about mechanics but rather whether you are on the right side of the trade.

I second that!

On a demo, even though it's live data, your fills are from the application and not the exchange so when you go live it feels a little different... another thing is there are no consequences to trading on a demo so when you go live and real money is on the line emotions come into play big time...

Because the ES was fungible with the big contract, back in the day many floor traders traded ES. That contract has been around for a long time and and has always had plenty of liquidity before any marketing or low margins. Liquidity mattered back then... Cut throat competition amongst newly...

I would add psychology. You're not the one making or losing money, the Market is paying you or taking your money for the decisions you make. The market is always right. It is your job to align your self to the market and trade on the right side of it, so the daily factors don't really matter so...

CQG integrated with Metatrader

Long options (calls and puts) gives you the right, not the obligation to either own the shares or to sell your shares. Sellers (shorts) have the obligation. But most options traded are for speculation with no intention to exercise.

You can use Stereo Trader as a sub platform for MT5 which gives you a few more options. Don't believe MW is available for AMP Global EU

I have been charting for a while and on 80 - 90% of the charts that I used Fib on, price action and volume has confirmed those levels at some point in the future as very active supply and demand levels either thru breakout, reversal or bottoming... just saying.

A breakout maybe happening out of the wedge pattern and with a catalyst coming up, I too expect a nice pop

I bracket market and trade direction of breakout. I'd like to trade what the market is giving me and not what I think it's suppose to do.

AMP also offers Metatrader which maybe compatible with mac

Reminds me of a Monet

Picking a strike price has also something to do with time frame. If you're looking for a quick play than an ITM option may be a good choice but, if you're looking at couple of months out than a near OTM option may be the better choice.

I thought it was the blockchain technology behind bitcoin that's valuable

I also like bracketing the market. I try to stay out of reversals and wait for the next setup, start clean.

definitely an interesting level to watch and see how price action goes, sitting on the longterm trendline... looks like maybe a 6 month head an shoulders pattern also developing... in my opinion.

Gold maybe on the verge of a breakout. Bounce off of support with momentum. Would like to see it break 1918 level.

I think first you have to get better at self-discipline by knowing your weaknesses, keeping it simple and having clear goals and an execution plan and doing it over and over...
