And yet 95% of so called traders lose, go figure! Regards Johno

Hi A, How long have you been searching and what approaches have you tried that ultimately failed? What did you study and what do you do for a living? Are you finding success in the markets now? If you don't want to discuss on ET feel free to PM me. Regards Johno

Nothing to be puzzled about here mate! Regards Johno

Love the photo and Whisky you can hold up exemplary standards like this one any time you like. Regards Johno

Just my 2 bobs worth, The market becomes your stop, with the caveat -where in a normal market at least, the position needs to be set up in such a way that your loss should not (no guarantees)exceed the maximum you have allowed when calculating RR. Regards Johno

I wonder what his road to Damascus moment was! Regards Johno

Spin, You seem to be such a cynic, have you always been like this. Perhaps reading about some of the opportunities out there in the trading world might cure you! What do you think. Regards Johno

Perhaps dagnyt might be better a better resource in your search for answers. Regards Johno

I was referring to arbitrage opportunities! I am selling the right to -whatever conditions- for a specified time - for a premium (cash value) so as far as I can tell I'm selling an option! Regards Johno

Hi Odd, Playing with Delta looks like it could be a lot of fun! At some point you will realize the advantage a reasonable handle on the Greeks will give you. Up front, I have a reasonable handle on option behavior but certainly nothing like some of the options scholars floating around...

Would you care to define what you consider the term "edge within yourself" means? Regards Johno

So is it safe to say - virtually anything that offers better than 50% chance of success would be considered an edge based on this post? As what you mention appears to be externalities similar to the ones I already mentioned? Regards Johno

I think I know where you're cumming from There was an article about some bloke being caught shagging a dog, he apparently knew exactly why he had done the dog, very few of us could understand why though, and I don't think that we ever really will! Funnily enough after that people avoided...

To be honest, I hardly pick up a Cue these days, good eye hand coordination is required but unfortunately as I've gotten older the eyes are shot! Regards Johno

The elusive quest on ET to find a definition for edge! Just like asking a wymin's group to define Feminism, every one present will have a different definition! IMHO there is no inherent edge in buying or selling options unless you can achieve a lock, if the profit cannot be quarantined then...
