    Trading from a laptop + multi monitors

    Not sure how the E6500 and the M6500 differ, but the M6500 I just got exceeds my expectations. Also, calling them to help me configure it saved me about 25% of what I was about to spend and got me better monitors than available via the configurator. If you want the contact information of...

    Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

    That would be me. Thanks for reminding me that I should update my LinkedIn profile. I am a Concealed Carry Weapons instruction in the state of Ohio. Ohio requires that a CCW permit applicant pass a background check, take classes, and prove that they can competently shoot a firearm to obtain a...

    HowardCohodas Index Options Credit Spread Trading Journal

    Thank you for your support. I have about 25% of my trading capital in this account devoted exclusively to this strategy. I'm not sure I understand the delta question. I'm going to guess that you were speaking of the greeks. I try to form an Iron Condor shortly after the first spread of the...

    HowardCohodas Index Options Credit Spread Trading Journal

    Now, you come into my home and trash me. How classless. Now you want to start another fight after you lost so badly in another thread. You will lose this one as well, but you will have to wait to see your prediction fail. Get a life and stop being a troll. There are some here who want to...

    what was your Profit/Loss this year?

    Do you mean options based credit spreads? I currently make my living trading index options credit spreads. I'm extremely interested in knowing about the ones that failed. I think it would help me. If I can, I'll gladly return the favor.

    What would/should the "small" investor invest in?

    Invest in yourself first. Without health you have nothing. Invest in your brain. Without knowledge you will not succeed. Invest your time. Learn from the mistakes of others. You wont live long enough to make them all yourself. Invest your passion. Without passion you will lose...

    Weekly Poll: Bull or Bear in the Critical 1st Week of 2011?

    I have no clue. I guess I'll just have to stick to my "I have not clue about market direction" trading strategy.

    what was your Profit/Loss this year?

    Some methods don't scale well to larger account sizes. At least that's what I've been told. Don't have the personal experience yet. :)

    New to Iron condors

    I started paper trading to determine the difference in dynamics of the weeklies vs. the last week of monthlies. With respect to credit spreads I could find little difference. The last week of monthlies require careful attention to managing credit spreads. That is perhaps why many who like...

    Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

    I have no reason to doubt you. I believe what people tell me unless they have proved they don't deserve it. If it affects me than I use Regan's approach. "Trust, but verify."

    Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

    You are right, of course. I was beginning to feel guilty at so easily defeating someone with so little skill for these things. I think the post above will be the last unless I have badly underestimated his personality and he actually comes up with the money to call my bet. Time to get...

    Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

    You have lost. It's only your reputation, but you have lost. Loss leads to grieving. You are at the first stage of grief. To help you navigate the stages of grief, here they are:DenialAngerBargainingDepressionAcceptance I'll throw in some advice in the mix. Pay up or shut up. You are...

    HowardCohodas Index Options Credit Spread Trading Journal

    That was a great estimate by just looking at the chart. The actual number is 64.9%. This will sound absurd, but in back-testing (5 years of data) and 5 months of paper trading I've had quite a few losing spreads, but not a losing month. During paper trading my poorest month was 3.5% and my...

    Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

    Sounds to me like you are walking away from the table without calling my bet. No hero you. There is another possible reason why I won't show my statement in public. It makes people like you who attack without cause or proof pay with real money to prove you are right or to pay with loss of...

    Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

    Ah. Regressing to ad hominem attacks are we? Here is where things stand. You attacked my credibility. I made a bet that I am credible. You can either call my bet or walk away without seeing my hand. Spectators get tired of a stalemated game. Here is a hint. He who walks away or hangs...
