    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    I would accept it if someone said Allah is great. As a beleiver in God, i wouldn't mind even repeating it. If we want to stay on subject of trading, people shouldn't bring up such deep subjects as our existence and their beleifs about it. I'm not for or against such discussions, but they...

    Sleepless Nights

    for some reasons, IB omits the numbers from the account info when that particular market is closed. stocks are closed, so i just took a snapshot of executions for today. so you can't see by this attachment that i'm still holding alot of those puts i bought.

    Sleepless Nights

    i'm getting that post deleted. i'm not an expert on options. I will probably buy july only, and just role them over at expiration if i still want to hold the position. I also average in and out of options intraday when there is strength and weakness.

    Sleepless Nights

    NDX confirmed my opinion that the market will bottom tomorrow, because we can't bottom without new lows. :D that may sound silly, but it's a good indicator for me since NDX is making new lows near the day I predicted as bottom. Tomorrow I will be covering my puts and getting long. I may...

    Sleepless Nights

    I may not take my gap plays in the beginning, since the risk management i use requires only playing with 1/8th for the gap plays. Or I may do it with options only as they are cheaper than the nq contract.

    Sleepless Nights

    covered my short from todays open (1135) @ 1117 +18. after the scalping and stuff, i almost made up for yesterdays NQ spike loss. The reason i'm covering isn't cause i think it will go higher. Its cause i'm slowing down on the shorting. The bull is awake, and i don't want to be in the...

    Sleepless Nights

    expect new lows, i'll be buying. Last year, just after sept 11th, the NDX bottomed. It proceeded to rally nearly 700 points. Thats 700% if you traded NQ or options. I've got 3 seperate indicators giving me the buy signal this week, AFTER WE TAKE OUT LOWS. It's the first buy signal...

    Sleepless Nights

    i only double down if i'm wrong on the direction, if i'm right, i exit at the close. I handled both days well, didn't lose on either. btw, tomorrow should gap down with no closure. so it should be interesting. I'm short at the close.
