just remember ES, the markets are constantly changing what worked in the past will not necessarily work in the future (not trying to flame, but stop looking for the holy grail, it's not there :D )

The price of the option is the probability that it will end ITM, basically There's really no special way to do it, you get what you pay for (or vice versa)

wow dude, you're pretty naive. so you expect people that have spent years finding their structural, statistical, 8-ball, whatever edge to pm you with what they're doing and how? you've got a lot to learn

If you don't care about what market you're trading, do forex. No coms to eat up your small account and just trade small, a few units at a time. You can make that 500 last as long as you want :)

Regarding shorting, sure, you can throw that out. Do you realize what I'm saying though? Regardless of the reason for why the sector we are long is performing better than the others, we hold it until a different sector rises above it in % gain from the point we did the picking (and then minus an...

Why not take it a step further? :D Make a chart of all those sectors, 3 months lets say. Put them on the same chart showing % gain/loss. Buy the top performer short the worst. Close the positions in a year, let's say. You will have had a long position in the top performer for the year, and a...

Because I know the competition, I know who I'm up against and I know...

If a sector begins to move very quickly in an intraday timeframe (high rate of change), you are saying that this will carry through into intraday (over next few days) more often than not?

It's about as hard to predict as predicting where the dow will be tomorrow ;)

If you're looking for bottoms, you're greatest risk is a sharp drop after you buy. Simply buying a small amount of puts (probably OTM, front month) will at least partially protect you in case of such a drop. If it does occur the front month OTM puts will shoot up in value, much faster than your...
