Hello, about 2 years ago I passed the Series 63 exam, but then never did anything with it. Now it is about to expire and I really do not want to just let it expire. I found a company that does not pay a base salary, but they say I can register my license with them if I work part time ( I will...

Neke, My last post has some merit but it wasn't accurate, you have a good sense of humor. I am a fan again. marsman, you must be young, naïve or both. The Elite Trader motto sounds great and that's all there is to it. Maybe in time you'll realize that almost always this is a journey you walk...

I trade full time and over the last 10 years I made just enough to keep trading. Not sure why you feel the need to turn my comment into a pissing contest. I tried to make a comment as kindly as possible. Criticizing is fine since we are here and I was not rude yet if you feel like you want to...

I have been following your journal from the very beginning and I was a fan. A few times I posted expressing my admiration for you and for posting your performance no matter what. You were inspiring but not anymore for me, ( not that you have to inspire me or any other of your readers, but since...

IB would certainly save money and Neke should investigate a little further since his commision cost is high. Mine is about 5k per year this year I ended with a + 8%. My objestive is 0.5% - 1% each month and like everyone else I have losing years. With that said I'd like to congratulate Neke in...

Hi there, I been writing put ratio spreads sell current month / buy next on the emini SP 500 futures for 6 years at least and that is all I do in addition to rarely write call ratio spreads from time to time and naked calls. I am usually able to make 1% every month consistently the strategy...

The simple old fact and truth that if you make money trading you do not need to sell your strategy online. It would be more plausible to open your own trading firm. The fact is that only a handful of people can make a living by trading while the vast majority is selling you something usually...

In my last post I suggested Neke to take a break before he made 100%. Did he relax for some time after having had such a great month ? If he did not in my modest opinion he has some growing up to do ( we all do ) but there is a moment when you pause and enjoy your winnings.

They are both great. VN has helped a lot of people and some of the people working for him became millionaires so he definitely did something right. Yes he blew up but a little mouse like me can certainly learn more from him and his mistakes than from NNT who doesn't really say much about what...

I lost over 70% of all the gains in 2008. Lost 35% and once again erased all the gains for the year in August 2011. Since then I employ a much more conservative approach with the obvious consequence of having much modest gains. Yesterday and today 8/21/2015 the market went down more than usual...

First of all I really admire you for continuing to write the best journal on the website and for having big cojones to keep posting your performance regardless of what the market throws at you. I am a better than average trader in the sense that I have been trading for 8 years (selling option...

Can you help me understand on what financial instrument he would have traded options on...specifically what is the ticket symbol AND name one would enter in his trading platform or yahoo finance ? Thank you

I would not be surprised if Van Tharp does not trade. And why would he when his book is selling so well ? The same goes for 99% of market timers selling you their newsletter for $9.99 etc. I have been trading for 10 years and discipline was hard to learn and it will help you once you master it...

It proves a whole a lot more than the claims without evidence written on option advisory services. Look I am not here to win a pissing context or convince you to look at audited returns or teach you something. Go ahead and sign up for your favorite newsletter today ! Best wishes.

Then your system is not that good. If your system is good it will prove it with audited returns because there is an unlimited number of money you can make and manage, much more than 120k. The best professional option traders manage more than 50 millions they don't bother with newsletters. It...

No because on the internet anyone can claim whatever return the want. An audited return is a much better starting point before you trust someone with your money.

If you are looking for financial advices you might let professional options CTA manage your money. At least the published ones with the NFA have an audited track record and some of them are doing well. Common sense would dictate that if one is good at making money one would just do that...

Selling naked options along with diagonal spreads on the SP500 is all I have done in the last 4 years. Lately with the market going nowhere but higher I lost money. Last year I was down 2.5%. I wish I did what she did her strategy is brilliant. One can do it with a very small size to be more...

I believe her story is legit. If she is not a supertrader she is a better trader than 95% of people who are trading. A lot of comments talk about Karen blowing up in 2008. I don't think it would be the case at all. She might have had some losing months, but once the trend is identified...

Like you said most "investors" don't think of themselves as gamblers, and at times they get lucky. On the other side you get professional traders. Some have been trading for over 20 years. Is it luck ? In my modest opinion professional traders are not gamblers, if they were they could not...
