    Eating and trading

    Each day: eat 215 grams of protein, no sugar, less than 50 grams of carbs, no processed wheat, very little fat, 2 salads with color, ride the bike watching cnbc 5 times a week, hit the weights hard. Oh yeah, and eat whatever you want on Saturdays.

    Cost for coaching??

    As others have said, make sure they are profitable and have references. In the end, if you will be successful, cost has little bearing.

    Beginning Options Trader

    I'd also chime in that I've never met a someone who makes money dt options, positions are typically at least 2 days. DeMark has a book called dt options and it still didn't appear totally viable to me. Good luck to you though.

    The past few months the overnight atr's have been nearly as high as the day session atr's. This may account for the lack of follow through in the market which tends to reduce the profitability of this system.
