    Consistent way to make money

    Hi hbiawos, Without exposing my intellectual property, in a nutshell, my methodology revolves purely around volatility by looking for stocks that are exhibiting unusual behavior in their momentum, velocity and price bar structure. I then wait for the "setup" and then pounce on them like a...

    Optimal Approach to gamma scalping

    ParisJOM, I'm a long gamma trader and I engage in buying straddles all the time with very good success. It's my bread and butter plays. However, you're absolutely right. Not only it's dangerous if it's not done right, but it can ruin your entire week, month, etc... not to mention your state...

    Consistent way to make money

    No. The best way to make consistent money in options is to buy in the money, at the money, and out of the money Puts & Calls.

    Don't you wish you closed that trade last friday..in the mid 120's WITHOUT converting??? You had some nice profits at that moment. Don't let ISRG run away from you this time (just kidding).

    This is halarious. Better than watching the SB. Your obsession with a one day wonder accomplished what other than confusion??? I'm hoping your trading results are more inspiring than the Taleb stories you're feeding us. :p Way to go Steelers :D :D :D

    LOL. you better stop all that publicity you're giving Taleb, or you might jinx his luck. On the other hand, you may end up getting a phone call to work for him so you can help with picking his fat tails. Which "luck" are you shooting for?.

    Nassim Taleb makes the rounds again

    Very true. When you're hitting on all cylinders and doing it consistently, people immediately associate it with "luck". Those are the same people that would beg you to go with them to vegas, all expense paid, so your "luck" can help them hit the jack pot. They usually possess a shallow...

    It happened to me several times and I was fortunate to pull out it of unharmed. It will happen to everyone at one point or another. If you have a solid well thought out plan and most importantly a good edge, you'll make it just fine.

    You can make your own luck in trading if you have a true cutting edge technique and a super disciplined mentality. That's what trading is all about. There are no shortcuts to this business. Hard work and passion for trading go hand in hand. Sure, once in a while, you'll get a bad hand "black...

    Nassim Taleb makes the rounds again

    Also, If I take people on as subscribers, they would need a whole lot of hand holding because my trading style is very confusing to the average trader. Later on in the year, when the account hits over 1,000,000, I think I'll be taking on subscribers as I'll have trained staff to support me. I'm...

    That's good OC. To me, just taking that account from almost nothing after a rough start in '04 during research to where it's at is just unbeleivable. And I know it' hypothetical, never the less I trade similar in my real account at a smaller size of course. I learned so much though.
