I had their service free for a month. Their recommended trades were riskier than the ones I was making in each of the strategy areas. I let my free service expire without extending it with my credit card. You may, however find it fits your risk tolerance. See if they still offer the two...

You might look at Prodigio, a GUI environment for creating a trading strategy available through ThinkOrSwim. No programming knowledge required.

I use ToS and have noticed the length of time a series is displayed after expiration seems to vary. I don't know if that is reflective of their feeds, or their decision. My main focus is when quarantined funds become available. For the NDX it is usually around Noon on Friday. However, the RUT...

I'm so confused. I thought you said you were gone, but now you are responding to your own posts.

One of the best explanations of the two components of a trading system (trader, strategy) and how a good trading strategy can still fail because of the limitations of the trader. Thanks.

While you are off your soapbox, post some calls.

A lot depends on your personality and style of trade. There are chat rooms to join and forums to participate in. Forums can be problematic and most posts are for laughs and not for serious dialog. At the moment, I make my living trading. My trading style tends toward checking my positions...

You may recall that in addition to reporting each spread, I also summarize the outcome as a series risking a specific chunk of money under the rubric of Iron Condor returns. And finally, I report month on month returns in percentages which include trading costs and the effects of a cash reserve...

I'll do better than that. This is every trade I've made since I started trading the current strategy. I've yet to finish my bookkeeping for March but I didn't want to prolong the disclosure.

I will consider posting EVERY trade since the beginning of this year if I can understand what benefit is to be derived beyond what I have already posted.

Did you read my trading posts starting with the beginning of the thread? Are there insufficient examples to understand my trading strategy?

I follow many threads and now try to limit my posts to minimize my susceptibility to baiting.

I think risk management should be multidimensional. There may be other methods, but this is what I do.Prefer indexes to individual stock to minimize market gap risk. One CEO suddenly taking medical leave will not tank an index.Trade options naked, but never trade naked options. Trade...

And yet, many of us trade credit spreads on weeklies.

Boost the economy, buy a new monitor. :D

If options strategies are your area of interest, I would recommend that you pick one and practice it exclusively with paper trading until you are ready to risk small money trading it. Only then, should you branch out into other options strategies. There is a lot to learn and it is a wonderful...

You might want to comment on the philosophy behind your choices of underlying instruments. How did you allocate your resources across them and why? Charts are decision support tools. What decisions are you preparing to make? How does your choice of chart help you make them? Once you share...

Thanks. Just bought a copy.
