My short signal was below 733.90 for 2 points and my long signal was at 738.50. I got my short at 733.90 for my two points.

Awesome. I'll let you know whenever I sign up and get you the referral :) They look great! Though...right now it's not financially feasable to do the PC and all the other monthly fees, but I think by Christmas time I should be able to do it. Also...Gary, you mind if I post charts of what...

So jealous...I want it. But, I use a Mac, so I've gotta figure out a way to get a PC and get the data feed and get the software. Do you use eSignal for your feed?

Hey Gary, Just wanted to thank you for enlightening me with this method!!! And 5Pillars, you too with the MarketDelta stuff. That really makes a lot of sense to me and was on a webinar with them last night. Very intense stuff....very. I've done a S/R call similar to what you're doing...

Perfect time for this post for me! One giant barrier I'm going through is embracing the loss. ;) If I have a great up day, I'm happy. I figure, this is great, I'm doing it right. THEN, when even a small down day happens, I'm ripped up. I feel like a moron who doesn't know jack. Now...I...

I'll backup ThinkorSwim in any barfight brawl :) They are hands down the best as far as their service goes, as far as their software goes, and just their general thinking and logic. They do what matters to the people using their platform, not what they think should matter to us. They take...

Van Tharp. Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom.

With regards to gamma and theta and all that....doesn't it simply come down to if those options expire worthless, he gets the full credit amount? I don't understand why there's always so much talk about the greeks, I guess. If someone cared to explain why it's that important in a PM I'd be...

One more q....;) Is there any follow up action I would take when one of the short calls would be closing in the money? Sorry for all the Q's, I just want to make sure I understand correctly.

You rock, thanks so much!

Err...Just so I understand it correctly as in my example above...if I want the underlying to land outside my short strikes, I'd want RUT to be either under 700 or above 750, right? Just needed some clarity :) Thanks again

Awesome. Thanks! I always knew and traded IC's, but never really dove into regular condors. I appreciate the info!

Hi there, I was reading this months Options Traders mag and it talks about condors. I plugged one into my ToS software to see what one would be like with just a week and a half left till exp, and I wonder if I'm looking at something wrong here. Does one "sell" condors? When I analyzed...

Thanks all. As for the home vs work...no worries. I totally understand and have taken your point to heart. As for getting pissed when you lose money...yea. I was in commission sales for a while and though I hated it, I was one of the more successful folks there. Its all a numbers game...

Holmes, you have no idea who I am nor my background, so you have no place to say Im not ready just because I ask for some book recommendations.

Great stuff Vikana!! Thanks so much :) That's perfect and exactly the stuff I was looking for. Thanks once again Chris

Thanks ST. I understand where you're coming from. My questions come from wanting to know about the psychology of the self employed more so than a trader. I've done enough studying of the latter to last a lifetime. Someone who is about to take the leap from working for someone else to working...

Hey cgb, thanks for that post. Great thoughts there. And yes, I'm pretty much a homebody and fairly antisocial (I spent most of my studio life thus far doing editing...don't need anyone else there in the room and i loved it!) so working from home is great for me. Plus, I'll be moving back to...

Thank you both kindly for your replies. I appreciate it. And yes, I understand it'll take some time. I've been at it a year now, and have begun to spread trade with great success. Directionals still scare the crap out of me, so i just paper trade until my confidence in my stragtegy is there...

I'm sure it helps some folks, but I've given up on proving people wrong and doing things for reasons other than my own self worth. It's not worth my time anymore to listen to people on this forum drop negative lines all the time. I don't understand how some can get along in life thinking so...
