    HowardCohodas Index Options Credit Spread Trading Journal

    Congratulations on reaching your 6000nth post. I report profit/loss on each trade and profit/loss in the account. Each is self consistent and reflects different aspects of this strategy. The graph I just posted reflects month on month profit/loss. It is a strict ratio of account balance at...

    Thanks, I missed that. I thought it was labeling on the stand, but on closer inspection, you are correct. Picture is now GONE WITH THE WIND.

    I have been told by many site owners that they prefer that I copy the image and serve it from my site rather than consume their bandwidth. None asked for attribution. If they were in the business of creating images, they request that I license it. If the image was incidental to their business, I...

    My understanding is that when a picture does not have a copyright watermark it is generally considered to be in the public domain (i.e. not copyrighted) and need not be licensed or have permission sought. If my understanding is incorrect, let me know. Citing your source would be helpful.

    My Automated Trading Strategy (3Years+ of Historical Data) Please Critique!

    You have made an admirable start, including the statistics for analyzing your back testing. I use a four step process that ends with trading with serious money. The names I use comes from my engineering and manufacturing background and I believe it offers some insight into the purpose of the...

    This is my reasoning: A trading method is made up of several elements including what you can expect from a given trade and money management tactics; how much to risk on each trade, how much cash reserve to maintain, etc. In order to give some insight into the strategy, I show the returns...

    My losses in March were mitigated by stops. Yes you are at the mercy of the market, but when you are getting out of the way of the steam roller, your time to negotiate is limited.

    What will HowardCohodas's month on month return be for March?

    So that I could see the votes without clicking the "show votes" each time, I voted 0%. You may discount this if you like, but I wanted everyone to know that vote was mine.

    What will HowardCohodas's month on month return be for March?

    Please submit your degree in clinical psychology to qualify this analysis. :) And then resign from the profession as diagnosing with only posts as evidence is sufficient to have you removed from your certification to practice. :D Or carry on. I've go to leave for a bit. :cool:

    What will HowardCohodas's month on month return be for March?

    I have previously proposed a method of verifying my results via a third party. I will repost that offer when I post my update. I think it would be instructive for people to vote, irrespective of how the results are verified. I have previously accepted your offer of help. :confused: Perhaps...

    What will HowardCohodas's month on month return be for March?

    I will use the same method I've used since I began this thread. I will offer the same challenge of proof that I offered before. I will repost that if you like. Any deviation to either of these would be a disservice to the readers. Otherwise there would be no valid means of reference.

    What will HowardCohodas's month on month return be for March?

    I though it would be helpful to readers to calibrate all the horror-inducing adjectives used to characterize what happened to my account in March. I'm considering a prize for the winners (all who guess to the nearest 5%) provided that information can be determined.

    I started a new journal thread to deal with current events forward. When I expressed that I didn't have time to deal with... I was referring to answering every post that offended me, not my willingness to post at all. Much of my reaction to some of the posts here was unproductive. I lost...

    Watch HowardCohodas Trade Index Options Credit Spreads - Humble Pie Edition

    March tested my metal in managing the spreads I trade. I did some things right, I did some things wrong and it cost me a bunch. I intended to complete my analysis and publish this week, but I am late in delivering on this obligation. I'm off on another business trip and will not be free to...

    Are you pretending you don't recall the terms of my challenge. Many new readers may not know that this is a disingenuous post. When I have time, I will remind them.

    I'm off to a meeting that will last until late into the night. Have fun without me. It has proved to be an unwise use of my time to respond to some of the absurdities. Minds will not be changed. And I have better uses of my time. Like finishing my bookkeeping to give a full accounting of my...
