What I did right now is to buy QQQQ in-money put for the next month. In action. For example, if the qqqq current price is $44 at April 1, I will buy $46 put for May. And at May-1, I will sell April's put and buy June's put. So the insurance is about 5% of my total money, say I have...

But isn't that if buy in-the-money option, you are not only insured for big disaster, but also get money back for small market down?

That is what my concern too to buy the out-of-money option. So what I am thinking is to buy in-money option. I look the in-money option, say $47 put, the time value is negative! That means you didn't pay any thing on time! So the whole market volatile is reflected in the option price. That...

What I concern is the crash in a few days. Let's say if the market go down 20% in 3 months, then I have a lot of time to deal with that. But if the market down 20% in 1 day like 1987, it is a sudden and we have no time to deal with that, and lose money. From the long term, the stock market is...

Hi, Q12 If the current market price is $44, and I buy put at $40 at price at $0.05. Let's say tomorrow, the market go to $41. At this time, price is still out-of-money. I guess now the option price should still below $1. So I lost almost ($44-$41)/$44=7% in my long stock and just get only...

Hi, runningman, I looked at QID. But it looks it is not suitable for me because it uses too much buying power (50%?). I am thinking less buying power to hedge, say 5% of the account. If I misunderstand, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi, I have some questions about QQQQ option. Basically, the purpose I want to buy some QQQQ puts is to prevent some stock market crash like 1987, loss 20% in one day. Because I am using margin at about 1.5, so if that happens, the really bad thing will be I lost 30%. But I don't know...

Hi, Could you recommend some day trading books for me? Thanks.

Hi, I am looking for a charting software which can easily show the previous chart. For example, I have a portfolio list, about 50 stocks. I want to check the chart on 2006-1-1, then pick my 5 long stock, then check chart on 2006-1-7. The key is I don't want to see the following days...

Let's say, back-testing is the first step. I currently have a RSI system, runs well in back-testing. Then, I go to the second step. Put it in a demo account to see how it works, the difference between back-testing and real trading. Finally, I still need to modify the system and let the...

By the way, you said you are tring to get GPA 3.0. I think as a business student , GPA 3.0 cannot understand well in your study. Like I am a graduate engineering student, I have GPA 3.7, but I still don't understand everything very well. Only if I know why and how come, then I can have some...

Don't spend so much time on personal trading. Your time should be on more other things.

I think if you are in business/finance, you should definitly learn everything teaching in university. Trading/Investing is not all, and trader is not a high position. You should learn how to make profit for billions of dollars. Business school's object is not a personal trader to earn 200k for...

I have a stock trading system, runs well, I back-tested that system first, it also runs well in real situation right now. I tried to add some human intelligence , but the performance is bad. So I stick on that system now without any human intervene. I guess the same thing in forex. Too much...

Do you use back-testing? If not, how can you make sure your trading strategy is good? To find a good trading strategy without back-testing is definitely time-cosuming, and probabaly, you will not find one at all, or lose all the money one day finally. (That is what I am thinking seriously)

I have no idea with the modelling quality given by MT even if I read their manual. But I think if the model is on a day chart, and the buy/sell decision is based on previous close, it should be fine. Isn't it? It is possible that there is a dramatically up/down, but in a daily chart...

I think if trading is based on 1 hour chart, it might be probable. But if in day chart, it is very difficult to test so long time. I am thiniking the best appraoch is when test in real time, find the difference with real test and back test, remodel, test again in back test, then observe in...
