    For my Christians Friends

    The most important aspect has been avoided - SPIRITUALITY- Are we simply meat or is there another dimension to us! It's very easy to argue a point when we get to pick and choose the scope of the debate!

    Can Options EVer be Excercised Early?

    A common approach is to close out a risky spread before it goes ITM, often at your stage of the trade it will be in profit. This approach is attractive as the market is obviously moving against your position and RR will no longer be in your favour! I know that you said that often you would...

    Can Options EVer be Excercised Early?

    fakkie99, I'm not sure what you are referring to, your first post discusses long option positions and then your post to me talks about short options management as the index approaches the strike. Could you please clarify your question! Regards Johno

    Can Options EVer be Excercised Early?

    Although early exercise on American exercise options is possible[ I've never had this occure] anybody wishing to do so will forgo the time value component of their option. Generally speaking it would be more cost effective to close out their options thru selling them on the open market! Remember...

    For my Christians Friends

    Joab, are you a troll or simply confused! Your comment:- "It's normal for evil and stupidity to attack light but to fight back with arguments is to cast pearls to swine." Is nothing short of abuse directed at people you disagree with! Surely you must realize that Jesus requires all...

    Anyone had massive drawdown before?

    Hi Ammo, I'm assuming you are looking for a reply but just got the wrong poster. The short answer regarding hedging and manouvering is "yes I have". Although any skills I may have, pale into insignificance when considering the most important lesson I received. Any...

    Anyone had massive drawdown before?

    " Thunderdog Longer than I would care to admit. I reduced my trade size to a small fraction of what it had been. When I first started trading, I made a bit of money, became somewhat confident, and then proceeded to lose a lot over a fairly short period of time. As for my "mojo," I still have...

    TW (Taiwan) Live Trades on SGX

    Many thanks Kiwi, The SPI still looks pretty whippy to me, but as in most things it's horses for courses! The approach that I like to take on the FTSE is more Swing Trade orientated with scalping style entries.[ quite difficult at the moment due to increased volitility ] The...

    The Elite Trader's Account Size

    edpolton Registered: Jul 2006 Posts: 35 03-10-08 05:45 AM "It would be interesting to know the net worth of Elite members. Account size may not be a very good indicator of financial skills. For example, since I only trade futures I only keep 20k in my trading account...

    John is DEAD ??

    Life and/or the markets teach us the lessons we need to learn! and we keep getting taught until we learn! One important lesson that comes to mind is : It's better to remain silent and be suspected of being a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt! Regards Johno

    John is DEAD ??

    A calculated business risk! No different to assessing potential construction contracts. Poor due dilligence and or poor risk management will generally result in disapointing financial returns! The only things certain are death and taxes, but a close third if you pick a dud woman is...
