so far so good on my g/j short. Getting near t2.

Here are the books I have. Options are confusing. So many "if / then" , "if/ else" possibilities. I'll probably just end up just buying plain old options as a directional play like I do with stocks. It's easy to understand 1. are you: Bullish? buy calls. Bearish? buy puts 2. How...

Using an analogy , you believe that running an 1/8th mile sprint at full speed, is no harder than a casual walk?... I can tell you havnt been trading long at all. The various styles are VERY different.

Wow!..ok, so I think I got it... tell me if this makes any sense what so ever. Here's the problem and what I'm looking to do: I cant watch the forex markets for hours because I need sleep, but I need TWO different orders in place with TWO different targets and stops. I'm trying to...
