this post is not about stops - it's about risk there is a difference. lesson for those obsessed with stops - professionals offset their risk onto other instruments whereas rookies put a target on themselves for professionals to take aim. no more talk about stops, unless you want everyone to...

truth - i was a struggling individual with programming skills in the 80's. bought and borrowed every published material available, spent money like crazy on junk. then landed a poor paying job at a large fund who gave me whatever i wanted software, cray, feeds, ned davis training you name it i...

I have a model E-mini S&P 500 Futures model that has four states Buy - Long Trend Sell - Short Chop Buy - Long Chop Sell - Short Tend The model has switches to trade any combination of the four states or all of them at the same time. Each state makes money on its own with about 1% drawdown...

If you have no plan for reversing a trade then I can see your point, though not agree with it at all. Stops are for amateurs, brokers, professionals to exploit. So if you're in that category you will love and promote stops, yet not be foolish enough to employ them yourself. You are not...

I would never use stops EVER, the question was about appropriate risk parameters. Selling options, you either have to roll or defend with underlying again no stops. But you can't set there like a sitting duck and have only hope. You somehow mistook the whole post I think, is about risk...

I edited my post to clarify a bit. I am asking give 1, 2, 3 trading methods what would someone think a appropriate risk parameter might look like. Then I was thinking of maybe using option selling as a risk vehicle and then it hit me maybe I should just be selling option positions and using...

fuckers balls are in his way - no wonder he can't make enough...

you have me wrong but that's ok. there are many coaches that will help you psychologically, but what a trader really needs is a well defined rule based system and experience trading it. when you have this you don't have psychological problems of any sort. this is what i mean. i have been...
