rs7- I share your conclusions about the spread orders not being worked and rarely filled. I trade options almost exclusively amd nearly all spreads of some variety. Have been doing this for some time. I have nearly given up on entering the orders as spreads and now just leg in. I trade four...

Metoox- If babak is Canadian and it is January then time on his hands is no surprise. Also goes for Alaska. Been dare dun dat.:D

My whole TWS either refuses to load or takes 1/2 hour to load due to some issue. I have nearly all option quotes loaded so this may be the problem. But I can't trade or even see what's going on for a very long time untul it finally loads. This has been going on since the weekend.

Babak, You put my haunting thoughts into words. Your point on the logical sectors slumping is right on. I keep getting the feeling and am beginning to see small signs of perhaps Saddam going into exile or being removed without war. It also seems that there is almost too much war rhetoric going...

Optionetics Platinum site can find trades for the 2.50 increments. It has a filter in the trade finder searches that looks for those stocks having those increments. Many of the stocks in the S&P 100 under $50 have them. They are great for keeping your risk down on credit spreads.:)

Be careful with this autotrading. Another alert service I have used last week issued a warning about Optionexpress(which I don't use) and problems with their autotrading. If you are a OE user and are under autotrading with them it might be good to quiz them a little about this problem.:)

Somedays you're the DOG and somedays you"re the hydrant.:)

This is getting close to analysis to paralysis. Somewhere, at least in trading, you have to pull the trigger.:)

Matt.... Thank you too for the kind words. I think I'll choose not to strike these memories because I truly appreciate your thoughts. As for the Good Christian. I came to Christ in midlife after a very wild and rebellious younger years. And after many years with Him I realize I am only a...

Hey you know, he does have a point and a very good point too. I have wondered that same question many times myself as have lots of people I have talked to. There won't be a definitive answer that satisfiies everyone until the end whenever and whatever that is. For now I have to operate by faith...

Matt.... I think you are correct that almost anything out of the ordinary can be taken as magical or supernatural by whoever is doing the analyzing. I too have had magical happenings that have shaped my history that I am very reluctant to attribute to anything. The ones I do attribute to Divine...

Daniel....I want to try to respond to a concern of yours that was about Christian people not considering or conceding to the superiority of your argument and questioning their faith. IMHO it really doesn't have anything to do with the superiority of the argument or the strength of the points but...

Mattj... In response to your question about the Doubter handle. It is a very neaningful handle because by nature I have been a doubter. I still question nearly everything(helps in fading the market, and I love the downsides.). Another reason is that the biblical Thomas was a doubter and we share...

I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are being saved recognize this message as the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, "I will destroy human wisdom and discard their most brilliant ideas." So where does this...

Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes, or powerful, or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. No one can know what anyone else is really...

The One who said that "I am the truth, the light , and the way." is the one who has to be condemned and rejected not the phrase. He was either deluded (crazy), a liar, or who He said he was. That is most definitely a personal choice and sets up a personal relationship of acceptance or rejection...

The big danger is of the stock collapsing but with the beaten down prices on many stocks today it certainly should be safer than a couple of years ago. I still don't do the covered calls but I may look at it again under the current conditions.

I always go back to the idea that any instrument can only go three ways and your probability of predicting the direction is about 50/50. About the same as a monkey and a two colored dart board. With all the helps and lots of genius you might get to 60/40 but the odds for this are really poor. So...

Another problem with Prechter is that IMHO he has done more to discredit Elliot Wave than almost all other forces combined. But that is also all good because you don't want too many people discovering the good applications or they lose their edge.

You don't have to use Elliot Wave or listen to Prechter to see the possibilities for the market going forward. The DOW was less than 990 as recently as 1982. How much of this territory it is going to retrace in the future is anybodys' guess. Adding trend channels to any DOW weekly or monthly...
