Just so you know, Mark is a dwarf compared to real options traders such as McMillan, Natenberg or Philip Budwick. Believe it or not, they make real money trading options. They feel confident teaching both pros and rookies alike. Mark is only secure among newbies, trying to impress them...

Interesting thread! I'm more of the view that we often need to reprogram the conscious mental habits that are built into our trading. I'm quite successful as a trader, making consistent profits. I fought hard to find my own edge. It relies on several simple concepts. However, I really...

I'm sure you and your students find this proctology-based approach to options quite stimulating.

Ok, Ladies and Gentlemen I think the thread I started is called "any interesting options ideas now?" correct me if I'm wrong. I don't see any interesting options ideas here now. Thank you for your contribution everyone! THREAD CLOSED :D

Math may be important in some areas, but I wouldn't overestimate it. I'm a successful trader, and I don't use math that much. I fought hard for my edge, which relies on several simple tools. Your starting point is Jack Schwager's Market Wizards. Once you master the vocabulary of Schwager's...

Dennis is one of the best, isn't he. A true legend!! I know a lot of people have found Michael Covel's work on the turtle method very inspiring. I'm planning to get Covel's book to get a deeper understanding of how the turtle movement was born.

He's one of the best, isn't he. Lots of insights, very helpful for everyone searching for an edge in their trading!

I agree, I think he's one of the best!

I am disappointed there is so much skepticism here about trading. I've found my edge, and I'm quite successful. So are many of my friends. I'm not quitting my day job, the several simple tools I use in my trading allow me to focus on other things, you could call it a hands-off approach...

I think that's one of the main lessons from the Market Wizards books. You really have to find several simple things, that work for you. I've found my edge and I'm very proud of that. It's based on a few very simple concepts. You're making a very good point here.

BTW, Wikipedia is a valid source. The wizards are hugely popular, and serve as a role model for many aspiring traders. Nothing wrong with that. How can we blame them for being so successful. They fought hard for their own trading edge and finally found it. I've found my edge and I'm a...

He's one of the best. Marty Schwartz has an excellent reputation in the trading community.

Great, thanks for the info, Don. We're still thinking through the structure, I might get in touch later. I know your firm has an excellent reputation in the trading community.

Spindr0 is a waste of time, just like you. Unlike Mark Woflinger, for example, who did 7 years at the CME, for better or worse, and is often trying to say something helpful.

Don, hi. I see you are incorporated as an LLC. We're thinking about doing the same. We are working on some trading projects with partners in South-East Asia, and they want to establish an LLC entity in the US, to run the operation, to be protected by US legislation. How high are the...

I've been reading Dr. Brett Steenbarger's articles with great interest. I don't agree with everything he's saying, but I think he's one of the best. I'm curious what other successful traders think about his work.

I've heard rumors that EliteTrader Interactive TV is being launched soon. Is this true? From what I understand we will be able to see some of the posters in live broadcasts, as they type in their posts . .. This would add an additional twist to ET, an already excellent resource for...

A very "clever" trade, shows what an insightful trader you are! Thank you for sharing your great wisdom with us ! LOL BTW, Mark Mobius says now is the best time to be long emerging markets and commodities

I'm a huge fan of Jack Schwager's Market Wizards books. Most successful traders have learned a great deal from these books. Who is your favorite market wizard, why?

I've been reading Dr. Brett Steenbarger's articles with great interest, he's one of the best. Good to know he is also giving seminars. Are they expensive?
