Thanks for your info - I also found the above document and downloaded it. Appreciate your thoughts, Chris

Exemptions statement to whom - the NFA and CFTC or the participants? % change for the pool in general or for the individual participants? Thanks, Chris

No need - I just live in a small (15,000) town and lawyers within this subject are few and far between. So I thought I might talk with someone who gone down this road before. Thanks, Chris

Kinda thought so... Thanks anyway. Chris

I am looking for sample disclosure statement, etc. I have gone over the CFTC site and the NFA site and have found all the disclosures needed, just wondering on format and all that kind of stuff. I will be exempt from registration and am wondering how far along these lines one must really...

I am looking for someone that has had some experience in either operating or participating in a commodity pool. Or does anyone know a CPO, I might be able to chat with. Thanks, Chris

OH thank you, thank you, thank you!!!:D :D Chris

Any ideas on how to turn off the new STUPID bubble help when the cursor is over the price lines? Make 'em pretty, Chris

This is the essence - it is 90% psychological, why would you trade against a system, method or idea that you thought was a winner to start with? The mind will play tricks. To again prove the above quote - shorted the bonds at 118 02 - immediatly went up - did I take the loss - no, I sat...

This is good - something constructive. IV is something I have not considered and know almost nothing about. This I will have to look into and learn about. Position sizing is a weak spot for me - as is trading against the trend - I know this but do it anyway - something I have been working...

I heard his advice and opinions - does that make them the only viable option and must follow? I did wish to hear his opinion that is why I asked - and there was nothing in there that I have not heard or come to the same conclusion myself. Doesn't mean I didn't hear it. As I said, I...

lindq, All points valid and taken into consideration. However there is nothing new in your statement - all of which I realize (don't know how you define limited trading experience, but very true in the option department), and most I agree with. But, (the inevitable but...) if my analysis...

I agree, this is a major problem for me, I tend to extend the account to the max and have often paid for doing so - but not to the point that I am not willing to do so again. (and probably unfortunately so) Make 'em pretty, Chris

At the time I was looking at this trade in particular - I did not have the ability (margin wise) to short the stock; I could have done a 100 or 200, but the profit potential that I calculated selling the calls with the margin I had left had greater potential, that I thought I saw. Of course...

Your input is appreciated - (stated with the same sarcasm, as is the above helpful statement.....) Just try and scare away someone trying to learn - very helpful indeed. Make 'em pretty, Chris

http://www.futures-trader.net/ Best I have used, and you can do stocks, options, futures - Make 'em pretty, Chris

I have just started the option scene. However on the sell side. Been waiting till about a week and a half before expiration, and using the same analysis I do for my day trading, get an idea of the direction on the daily and sell puts or calls. Have done a couple covered, but mostly naked...

Pit volume is dropping that is all there is to that. You cannot convert it to the emini and thus the volume was bigger. Contracts are contracts regardless of the size. As the pit was here first why are we not thinking like - todays volume on the emini was only like 12505.22 big contracts...
