LOL! Buying a winning lottery ticket.

One of those really rare delights in trading that makes everything worthwhile, to be holding a stock that explodes on earnings. Very sweet. I took my profits in after hours, but I do think this still has room to run if you are into holding.

Read that sentence a couple times and you should be able to clearly see why it is self-contradictory. Options are a derivative of the underlying security. What happens to the underlying....WHEN it happens....WHY it happens...HOW MUCH it happens...HOW OFTEN it happens...all impact options...

Then the obvious question to you is: What strategy for trading stocks are you attempting to "improve" with options strategies? If you don't have a successful strategy for trading equities, then you most certainly are not going to profit with options. You will only accelerate your losses...

The Jewish religious authorities were threatened by Jesus and they turned him over to the Romans. Jewish "leaders" identified him as a revolutionary, because indeed he was. And still is. All of his initial followers - his disciples - were eventually hung, beheaded or crucified by the...

Your problem is not with your options, but with the underlying. What is your strategy for the underlying? You don't appear to have one. Rule number One (thru 150)...do not trade options until and unless you are first successful in trading equities. Otherwise, you will simply accelerate...

Investor RT. www.linnsoft.com You'll be able to backtest on a portfolio and create setups based on daily data. Then trigger your trades, in backtesting, based on intraday activity. This is how I've used the system for 4 years. Contact Linnsoft directly, or go to their Yahoo chat at...

So by your reasoning this poor fellow should rely on the advice of ET posters rather than seeking the counsel of a good securities lawyer? LOL!

Don, you will need to have one heck of a good swing trade to profit with calls. The primary swing system I trade is as good as any I've seen, and it is still difficult to overcome the spreads and decay to make options work for me. The best way to demonstrate this for yourself is simply to...

This stock is right where it should be. The company is run by a bunch of sleeze bags who lied to investors in the past and can't be trusted not to lie again. If you want to get in bed with idiots like that, buyer beware. I had the stock at 40 last year when on their conference call they...

Leave it to CNBC to screw up even a simple trading contest. I'm trying to imagine how anyone on their staff came up with the idea of only entering trades at the close. Incredibly lame.

You may want to check out www.tradingcomputers.com for their trading hardware platforms. I have one of their systems with multiple monitors. The monitor array is very inexpensive, and the system will come fully configured with cards, monitor stands, etc. When I compared their package...

As is typical on this site, the self-proclaimed "experts" have responded to you without first bothering to ask the most important questions, which are what timeframe are you trading, and what instruments are you trading? Are you daytrading or swing trading? Trading equities, indexes...

Systems aren't built with indicators. They are built with logic. There is a reason for everything. So engage brain first. Don't test with your money. Buy low, sell higher. Trade the stocks of only solid companies. Don't get greedy. Develop a system and stick to it. Know...

In addition to what the typically brilliant dpphoenix said, you appear to be trying to buy into strength, since you are lining up your indicators in that direction. Why did you decide on this strategy? What is your reasoning? In anything but a strong bull market, it is a very tough...

Thanks for an intelligent post to those who as usual like to jump in before doing their own research. I had also checked them out, and was concerned that they're just letting trades run. Seems to me like a recipe for a problem at some time down the road. I calculated that you would need...

CAUTION: This system trades with NO stops.

Turn if off.
