------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- falconview, Its might have been a mistake to close the call, hard to say. Take a look at the attached chart. The SPX is forming a bullish hammer candle at the 1390 minor support line. If this candle...

atticus, The 3/21/12 post with the put trade (the one you had the web link for) did not fill. However there is still an open call trade position from the 3/20/12 post on page 150. (5 day hold on calls, or limit sell or stop, "whichever comes first.")...

Sorry about that and I agree with you. Busy household of 7 with lots of demands on my time. I will try and fire it off quicker next time. Options at about 1.80, could still go either way at this point.

How did this nice thread start out with Ryan and others posting their option trades (thus the name of the thread "My Option Trades"), and now turn into a "war of words" having nothing to do with Ryan's option trades or anybody else's. "I raise 4 young children in this household of 7 and...

So far today the market has used the Pivot Point (Brown Line) as support (see attached 2 day, 5 minute candle SPY chart). I wonder if it will hold?

Stops and Profit Levels are equal on 88% of the signals (the standard workhorse signals) and are based on the VIX. 1: When the VIX is < 20% standard signal profit and stop is +30%/-30% on the first 6 consecutive signals in the same direction and then drop to 25% thereafter. R/R has to remain...

The Majority of the trade signals STD, DLYD, BON, and all BUY 2 are the meat and potatoes of the system and have an R/R of 1/1. They represent 44 out of 50 of the trades, that means 88% of the time the R/R is 1/1. The infrequent exception: STD-LEAD, of which there was only 5 out of 50 of...

You do realize that all those trades from September 2011 to March 8, 2012 were back tested paper trades, don't you? My real trades started at signal date 3/14/2012, plus the open trade signal date 3/19/2012 which have both been posted in real time on this thread. atticus, you are...

Certainly Don.

I agree, I am having a hard time swallowing it myself, so I am trading small until "proof of life."

I have a friend that does all my programming for me. The last trading program he built me was completed in June 2007 and we have traded it from July 2007 to early March 2012. Since that time the reliability has slowly degraded in performance and as a result of that, he has created a totally...

falconview, There wasn't any intelligence used in my CREE trade and it would be a poor example to follow. The trade started off as a straight put buy on 03-14-2012, here was the post quoted from page 127 of this thread: [03-14-12 08:07 AM Today bought CREE April 29 puts at 2.00...

03-15-12 08:18 AM Speaking of CREE, later in the day yesterday I added CREE April 30 calls at 1.50 to make a strangle out of my CREE 29 puts at 2.00. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03-15-12 08:58 AM Also bought SPY April 140 calls at...
