Gentlemen can we take this debate to a new thread devoted to the subject? We got 2 pages plus now on the topic when the thread is supoosed to be about stops.

Oh brother... Always one in every crowd...

Just as I thought-- your lack of apologetic rebuttal to my posts refuting your thesis speaks wonders... It's always amazing to me how many times posters such as u prove themselves wrong with little effort by those in the know. Here's a tip for you-- get an education how markets really...

Uuuuummmm... were u trying to say something olix...?

This is beyond laughable. Olix- let me guess-- u have failed...and failed miserably I might add-- as a day trader-- am I close to the proverbial nail? If you say no -- i say bs. Because anyone who has succeeded in this biz would never subscribe to such blatant fallacies! "Noise"???? Lol...

Sorry Oilxpro-- you are wrong.... Im a full time intraday directional options trader -- I am flat every nite. Amateurs need wide stops because they truly dont understand proper entries. Proper postion sizing in such cases result in fewer shares/contracts. A trader who has an edge in the...

Hogwash... pure hogwash. Success comes from having an edge. Tight stops being taken out frequently is a misnomer as a general statement in and of itself.... there are reasons specifically why tight stops will be taken out. Conversely-- with the right market conditions along with knowing the...

ALL TYPES OF TRADING HAVE UNKNOWN OUTCOMES!!! Regardless of the stats on a high probability setup over a large sample size-- each individual trade based on that setup stands alone as a random event with uncertainty attached to it. Here's the key though: Consistency comes from knowing what...

Neke are you a coward? Afraid of looking square in the face the cold hard reality of the weakness of your strategies? Up 4k on 4 trades TELLS US NOTHING! We don't know if you were a loose cannon and had 60% of your capital at work or 22%... we don't know if you doubled or tripled down to...

Neke this is ridiculous-- it's time u stepped up & posted your trades.

Why would u assume that???

AAPL DITM is very liquid... And as for stops- because they are .90 plus and move with the stock... your stop is based on the underlying... always. Pure TA on the underlying dicates when to enter and exit the option. Good luck- single best thing I ever did however was stop trading the...

Now ideally this will be best suited for you once you achieve the ability to buy at least one round 100 share lot of aapl...here's why-- if price goes against you- deltas go down... vs owning the stock which has you at 1 delta no matter up or down-- so if you get close to your stop-- you are...

I'm going to give you probably the single best piece of trading advice that you've ever received: In lieu of the underlying buy the deep itm options. For your trade in which you subjected almost $ 18k of capital at risk (the highest risk being that of a black swan event that could be...

I am not referring to trades working "all the time". I am referring to setups that are always present REGARDLESS OF WHAT TYPE OF MARKET EXISTS... hence "all the time". Again again and again...the key is intraday. Why? Volatility plain and simple and being flat end of day. It is virtually...

So am I. Again-- short term. Short term. It doesnt matter what the condition of the market is. There will ALWAYS be equities that intraday will offer the same setups. What kind of setups? Those that produce a statistical edge...that's the key. I see them EVERYDAY! I truly believe for...

Dolphin- curious-- what do u trade...and do u use TA?

Understand it works both ways-- with a volatility crush your long straddle will suffer.... regardless a true "straddle" is ALWAYS ATM and hence delta neutral. A "strangle" on other hand will be entered when underlying price is between between 2 strikes on entry...hence OTM... however not as...

Random uncertainty exists in every trade... likewise in casinos random uncertainty exists in every bet in every game.... a huge loss can be incurred at any given time on an isolated bet... however statistically over a large sample size they know they will always come out ahead...why? Because...
