anyone??

I study and monitor a particular index and would like to buy warrants based on the index. My system is as follows: Buy both call & put warrants with deltas around 50% for both. Put stop losses of ~5% loss on both calls and puts. If index goes up, I make on the calls and puts get...

Hello ppl, I would kindly like some advice on a particular trade I am planning on taking with warrants. I am very much still a beginner in the option/warrant area, so I would like your help on how to get OUT of the trade profitably (since getting INTO a trade can be done by anyone.. lol)...

I would like to know this as well. Thanx for any input. Regds, Chirag

With my current results, I am having trouble getting sleep - and that is, my losses are a pittance to what many people have experienced. I guess its all about the mindset? How do you try to force your mind to accept the danger/risk in turn for a better reward? How do you even KNOW if there...

My parents are economically backing me as of now (ie. housing, education, food). Trading money lost is all from my savings. My parents are not supporting me morally though. They consider the career of trading as an excuse to gamble. They basically are waiting for me to blow out through my...

My point is, a mistake in trading means losing money. you can only learn if you make mistakes, and in the case of trading you are BOUND to make some mistakes due to uncertainty. How much capital does the average joe shell out to the markets before he starts to gather enough skills (from...

How much capital, in percentage (on average), should one expect to lose in order to hang in there and improve their trading? I'm a newbie to this business and am currently down. I know that it is very easy to lose lots of money in the beginning, but its positive if you get a grip on how the...

Lovely calls. Am currently giving your trading criteria a try.

would it be too much if you included me in the PMs as well? Thnx for your input and have to say- fascinating results..

what do you mean by "picking my right delta"? could you please elaborate?

I understand what you guys are getting at. I was studying the behaviour on the IBEX35-based options (spanish stock market) today, and have to say that I am let down on the way the DON'T mimmick the index's performance very accurately. I guess the large spreads (ie. even 4 to 5 % spread is...

What makes options so tough to trade compared to other instruments such as swaps, futures, FX, etc.? I believe all instruments, including regular stocks, need lots of hardwork and dedication in order to be consistently profitable by trading them. I understand that there are many variables...

margin requirements in futures are what are setting me back from using them. I want to start with low risk cap, on cheap instruments such as options (so that whatever little profit isnt eatten up by commissions) and then build my knowledge on how the whole trading world works. I might look...

I guess that if operating on a intraday basis, time decay wouldn't be that much of a factor to consider? I guess my only concerns are drops in Vega, Delta and Gamma during these short holding periods (ie. between 15-20 min. to abt 1-2 hrs. max). What are the fundamental risk management...

No. I think I didn't make myself clear. Sorry for that. I will be only risking 2000. That is, profits shall be taken out at the end of the week and the only operating capital shall be 2000. So no, I was not thinking about compounding profits.

Yes. I guess a swing trading approach could be more feasible and profitable in the long run. My question is, is it realistic to expect an average 5% ROC per day with warrants? I am sure than many volatile underlying instruments could provide great trading ranges if one has an edge in the...
