Re-read your post a couple dozen times... and then try to figure it out. Ice:cool:

are you looking to go long or short... from some higher/lower pivot level? Ice:cool:

don't go back into trading until your are absolutely positive you won't be lulled in greed and 'conviction' trumping discipline as opposed to the other way around! Also if you're inclined to double down a lot... get a flight to Vegas and stay out of the markets. Good luck Ice :cool:

I too liked Mark Ritchie's book..... recommend it Ice:cool:

It doesn't "get you" if you manage your positions well as any good trader "should" :D ... such that those 20-25% are not elephant-sized losses while you took 80% of bird-sized profits! :eek: Ice:cool:

that is the biggest crock of crap I have ever seen! I'd like to hear her opinion on decriminalizing rape... maybe she'd argue after all it's just rough S E X!! But I bet she's a hypocrite of the first magnitude being in the media. Ice:cool:

QCOM forms a small H &S pattern... extrapolating to 33.50+. But first it's gotta form a right N/L considering May 15th as the 'head'. This is an IF right now. Regards, Ice

thanks... A/A Ice:cool:

trading mostly options... relative to my sizing (which often lately is smaller) but still would on an annualized basis, represent a great income. For example, in February this year I had no losing options trades out of about 18 trades/positions. Not patting my back just replying. Some...

there was a report tonight on Chicago network TV (right after the made-for-tv movie Martha, Inc.), about the rebate scam. I already stayed away frm rebates out of inherent cynicism. After this segment it seems obvious that the rebate "business" is indeed a scam, and BBY and the like are at the...

Frankly I hope they find a cure... and think it's sacreligious to short a company that might end up doing so much good for the world! Does that sound naive to all those ruthless traders out there?! :eek: :D Ice:cool:

Why do you care... so you can feel good that YOU are not performing as well as you might like or curiousity about the greener grass?! Can't understand guys who ask others for financial results. Worry about improving YOUR options trading; that's all that matters really, isn't it! Let's us...

why "write that down" .. it is meaningless unless you or I or anyone has a short position in QQQ, LT. Otherwise opinions are like _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , everyone's got one! So are you putting your money where your keyboard is?! Ice :cool: p.s. Re-read your post... guess you have a pos...

not unexpected... in fact I was looking for it. but one has gotta go by technicals; and until they improve I am gonna stick with my short front month calls and long stock. I'm trying to sell some QCOM otm puts this morning if it trades back into gap. Ice :cool:

why would you "buy all the way down"? Is the market wrong and you are the only one, or one of the few smart ones who is "right"? I have no opinion on GM, never owned it... ever. But if it goes lower why buck the trend... do you think people are "crazy" for selling GM? If so, then as a trader...

Thanks for the comments. Funny how people I talk to think options and options-speak are "cool", but here I am beginning to look into incorporating more equities and futures into and "around" my options trading, out of some recent frustration at the lengthy time often involved in options...

hard to find a short in this market.... but I found two hybrid short/laggards (qcom/msft). Hey it takes skill to do that bros! But while still long stock from 31-33... I did take the opportunity to sell May 30 calls and get out early expiry morning (as I believed the gap to 30.90 would fill...

That is a good idea...NA why don't you start another poll/thread on that subject?

you are a nutcake... tell us... who asked you to trade options??!! Did anyone force you. NO. You did so to make money. In other words you tried trading options out of GREED! No different than any market maker or any other participant. Guys like you are so immature you will never...

where did you find that...? I
