agree, trades must be managed and the management must be planned before the trade is opened. trade management can range from the simple to the complex. when looking at risk/reward of a trade, also add in "recovery", if the trade goes way against you, what kind of recovery is possible?

QQQQ trade with weekly options. Here is a trade idea that I that got from either ET or Y!, can't remember. The straddle part came from an idea in a Bernie promo. Buy calls after several down days that are opposite to trend. Buy puts after several up days that are opposite to trend...

Here is an interesting trade idea..... It is a IC trade on GOOG with a possible 14% return for one week. The trade is from thu 1/13/2011 using options expiring on jan 21/22. The trade was shown as an "example" by a option guru of what is possible using a weekly option approach, it is an...
