You guys are WAY overcomplicating this...Hes trading spreads with defined risks,looking at a 1:3 risk reward ratio.... Im not saying stops wouldnt enhance his return,but there is nothing wrong with trading limited risk positions as a punt His real problem is hes too lazy too backtest,which...

As far as I know,there are 3 "things" you can do to shift the odds in your favor.. 1) manage stress..and smile Life isn't a dress rehearsal.Findxa passion and dream."Dreams are what makes life tolerable" 2) eat well, i.e lots of Veggie, predominantly plant based and stay the fook away from...

Oh yeah..Kiba dachi??

Never a huge drinker,so it literally took me one day to give it up. Giving up my cell has been a massive test of my discipline.. Kids don't stand a chance And they know it

Cellphones are the real weapons of mass destruction.... I grew up with strict orders from my doctors to sit back 6 feet from the 19" color TV my parents could barely afford... Here we are staring at an 8 inch screen,2 inches from our face. Kids are addicted and on this shit and average 5 hours...

Dollar cost average

Great post and I completely agree that for 98% of retail traders,they would be far better off finding a job they love and dollar cost averaging.... There are are guys like Minervini,Ryan and Kulamagi who are similar in style,but IMHO its their money management/position sizing first and foremost...

No need to research,I am right here .Ive made my contribution to the short vol Gods.:) The only saving grace is he appears to have a hard stop,and hes not holding overnight.Thats huge From the little I backtested,I would trade 1-3 day options from the long side,especially in this vol enviorment..

What the apx percent of spot on the straddles /strangles that you sell?? Is there a minimum threshold? I will say that when i was short gamma, I did not have a hard stop in place,and i was short ALOT of really cheap expiring options and I paid dearly. If I am reading you correctly,you are...
