It's not "semantics", you're just not "hedging". You defined hedging then described something else. Hedge would reduce loss at adverse price movement. So when apple goes down, your 'hedge' would be profiting to offset your loss on your long shares. Not burn money double time. So selling a...

Was the pill from his favorite "BRISTOL MYYYERS!"? (I just like the way he says it)

But Cramer said so! It's the only way to have portfolio protection! /sarcasm

You're swing trading now, right? On your last post in your swing trading thread (on 9/29) you said everything was going fine. So whatever was working through that time, focus on that. 9/29 was a pretty big up after a recent gap up. I am on the skeptical side and figure some day it's gonna...

Oh my, this is true. I apologize to any monkeys I have offended by even suggesting such things could have been uttered by one of their kind.

This jungle is dangerous! People teaching apples = apples then a monkey appears out of nowhere and argues that the left hand side is a banana? Wait, no. Now that I think about, I'm convinced. If it looks like an apple, tastes like an apple, has the same payoff diagram as an apple, is...

They do say that... and they are also a broker. Hrmmm....

You should be asking yourself all these questions. You already have opinions about selling. Create your own for the rest of your list. That way your questions won't be super vague like "what about volatility?", you would say "I'm looking to buy XYZ for T days out at this strike because...

In case you're serious: basically they advocate looking for high IV rank underlyings and sell strangles/straddes/Condors etc. They give the mechanics of management too. The issue is, following what they say at face value is bound to make you just about break even because all they do is blanket...

Worth. Makes better beef stew than its brother: the Silexx OEMS.

Damn it. I answered "toaster" Is this really your test? Because you answered 1 and 20 differently. Start there!

Irony... too... strong. Can't... process...

Some of us don't use the settings... because we ARE the settings.

I'm surprised with all the back and forths, there hasn't been a "well the jerk store called: they're all out of you!" Serenity now! SERENITY NOW!!!

My guess: The question was meant to start a debate. Getting people on both sides. There will be arguments flung about; frustration, but eventually no consensus. Then when the dust settles, a hero steps forward and says "easy, when the green box under 'RTI' turns blue" (or some other indicator...

I think treeman and dozu are different people. You quoted them together on post #29 too.

I heard TradeStation was good for simple programming (they named the language 'EasyLanguage' so hopefully that's very true by now). I was going to look into that if/when the time came to automate.

Is this what you're looking for?

G$D D$ayum. Not sure how many people have realized (or would fully appreciate) what you've illustrated for them for $Free.99 Peeps out there charging infinitely more for infinitely less. Also, I can't find your entry for data point #5. Was it: 5. Sit back and crack open a cold one for you've...
