Dam,you have an excuse for everything ...

Lol!!! This entire forum is 99% unsubstantiated.. Why start here and now??

Price action is far sexier and much more mysterious..Whats not to like :)

90 percent of traders fail,and 9 percent of the remaining 10 percent would be better off with an interesting career..

When I say it's obvious,of course I am talking in theory... There are very very few who make a real living from trading,no different than professional athletes

My first reaction was,"Well thanks Captain Obvious",but there may be some genius in your wisdom,and imho,it's largely dependent on ones "money management"... Gun to my head,Ild probably add trade with the trend..

No price action,price is price,volume is misleading and no indicators Are you a momo/Modified Canslim trader?? Fundamentals, Yay or Nay??

Ill be the first to admit I did some really dumb shit when I started out..Mercifully,it was OPM

Says the broke entrepreneur who would have done more with his life if he had millions.. And what might a struggling entrepreneur be doing trolling on a Trading board???

Dawn,I think you know that your bet size on earnings was way way too big.. Nothing to do with vol.You were down 25 percent of your account the next day,on a synthetic strangle(what you call a gut play)?? Sounds like you bet 33 percent of your account on that one play.. i wouldnt jump to...

May not have contributed much(if anything)may have been uncalled for (yeah,cheap shot),but was really F-n funny Unpossible....LOL!!!!!

Says the broke ass mofo:) Just out of curiousity,what would you do with millions if the tooth fairy got really stoned and left a major stash under your pillow??

You really need to ask?? :)

Lol@ General Tao..I like it All I said is Say Wut,and once again you have sent me on a wild goose chase:) Im going to backtest different levels of IV rank..And FWIW,you probably arent far off...

You are off to a decent start by comparing Historical Vol to Current Implied.. Some pointed out that you should also be looking at what percentile implied vol is trading at,i.e where does current IV rank against past Implied vol... Orats has "historical" rolling IV for different periods.30...
