    What is TRADING the markets to you?

    the most dangerous idea of trading is: paycheck mentality if you have that, you put yourself into a never ending PAYCHECK job. THINK BIG, LIVE LARGE if you just shoot for ordinary results. move on, forget about the market.

    How to calculate a stop loss for options?
