You couldnot be more wrong. I am just interested in others people method and if asked specific question I will answer it. I am just puzzled what was a purpose of you posting here that you make 200% a year. Should not you expect that someone will ask about your method and how you have achieved...

To all. Would someone just post general rules to option writing, instead of fruitless ping-pong with words? Walter

To Dreamer, Would you explain how you can be selling naked and controll risk? Best I ever made from selling options was around 60 % return. Walter

In my opinion the reasoning that patterns are repeating over and over again is flawed. Patterns might look simillar but they are not identical. Patterns are developing along current market conditions and any attempts to put fixed numbers( Fib. Gann and such ) to predict or indicate higher...

To Mercury; What is your method , system? Walter

Wally, I have noticed these times( and others ). I was just wondering why I cannot find anyone who is attempting to do analysis the way I do it. To follow fixed, predetermined times will seldom work and it is near impossible to " mechanize it ". Hopefully this tread will encourage someone (...
