There's no reason to get locked into semantics. When it comes to options i am a dwarf minnow. But even i know what this guy is saying and think the questions presented to him are sophomoric and flawed so, it is no surprise his answers reflect this. You might as well ask him if two...

best is defined as, least amount of time in position for greatest amount of dollar and percentage profit without maximum share and dollar exposure. i trade both, infrequently, thanks to an ET member. :) STJ and LYO ; today LYO gave up the steam no pun intended. :D A crater at $27-$27.5...

What does a guy have to do to get that kind of exposure and margin ability with only $100,000 in the account, and on ETF's?

Sure. I have $20 million worth of ideas almost everyday.

You want ESRX instead as an investment and trade. MDRX was meant for armchair specialists and trusties. imo Good trading.

LYO trading at year resistance with increased volume. Enjoy. Good trading.

Nice. I was training my dog in the woods when a fawn came running at him--the fawn was alone and thought my pup was mom. When it saw his teeth the fawn did a 180 and bolted. My dog thought he had to hunt it and chased it until i called him back. My dog almost ate Bambi :D

I think my timing was dead on. Anyone agree/disagree? The one thing i can do with options: look at an option/instrument and know when to sell high premium calls that will expire worthless. The downside is i have yet to be wrong... If i had sold 177 calls and OSX traded up to, say, 185...

Great information and exchange throughout this thread. A continuos Macro Position. How does a trader balance model implementation costs when volatility deviates from modeled range and still maintain a consistent monthly return ? Say for example you are running an options pricing...

Great article. Thanks psytrade. :) Algorithms are nothing new to me except that i strongly disliked making them achieve a desired output/task. The theory part i like very much. Thanks for your words Vik. I'll investigate said subjects.

The best place to position yourself is within earshot and sight of a successful trader wherever that may be. Work for free as an assistant by day and tend bar at night. Find this person through contacts. Your degree and GPA are meaningless to making great money consistently. You can...

We are all awaiting his gracious presence but until then life goes on. Who is Jack Hershey? I read that he teaches people to trade using his methodology and perception. How un-American. :D Nonetheless, i am interested in everyone's thoughts and comments.

Thank you for sharing this. My intent is to start with EUR/USD but i will follow your suggestion of AUD/USD. I don't plan to make a trade until i learn about the business unlike how i started trading equities. I've heard a lot about how one must invest in currency b/c the short-end dollars...

You hit the nail right on the head with that analogy. :D I would like to say though that i do not care for analogies in general. Studying behavior and eco/bio sysytems can help me in trading without drawing any analogies--just observation. Sorry to get specific. But, i enjoy reading...

Yes. Thank you. Another member PM'ed me about Victor. I didn't want to say but i knew of him and his operations. Too bad he couldn't find a good enough analogy to help him when he blew up in currency in 97-98. "Asian crisis". LOL You'd think someone obsessed with perfection and...

QM E-miNY has been very volatile. Tough s.o.b. Scaling back contracts is not a bad idea but you can make some decent coin with it now. I do about 30K shares of XLE per week but that figure could be daily with recent price action. It is no oil equivalent, in case you wanted to know. OIH...

The thing with Lions is you must become the Alpha male pride leader to eat and drink first. Your life is high intensity battles for top spot and survival. Any other life is not worth living. Being the Alpha female you will at some point in life watch your litter murdered by rival stronger...

I very much appreciate your input. Thank you for a concise explanation.

Use their gainskeeper service. It worked for one of my accounts. You can export into xls and quicken(i think).

How i do: Form LLC as an umbrella to house all trading limited and general partnerships, up to 25. Being able to match partners money is key. Otherwise, if you plan to trade other people's money without including your money then become an RIA. To prove RIA liability will take a...
