    In the past, how long until a 5% correction? (Poll)

    I understand the question, but don't see the point. A 5% correction in a sideways market, in a down market, in an uptrending market, during a depression, during low volatility, during high volatility, etc have completely different meanings. The market plummeted heavily from fall 08 on, then...

    Intraday trading and Percent-Risk Position Sizing

    rather than picking an arbitrary amount, and since each trader is different, it makes more sense to put a large representative sample of yourown past real trades into a spreadsheet, and backtest, seeing how different "%risks" would have affected your performance.

    Protection against gaps

    protective options never hurt. But don't hold them longterm, as they time decay (get them at least a couple months out, as the last month the time decay accelerates. You can also play around with buying/writing/covered calls/etc. Do a little homework first.
