I only just now read this post. I agree.

Not formally. However I completed all levels.

thing is when they structure a trade and buy 2 or 3 contracts thats not the real world. to make any type of living you need to have a beat on a few sectors at least so you can get long who you see the rotation. i've got 50-60 trades on at all times. some different structure on same symbol (SPY...

i had june 65 calls going into earnings. i've been long most for over a year. rolling and trading around it. its been good to me.

underlying then collar. sometimes i but the calendar or diagonal at once, other times i add the short later, like of the long runs to resistance and i roll it up taking out some cost/profit, then see shorts at a higher strike against it, taking more profits / reducing cost.

tell him you're interested in his fund. ask for performance.

Ask for his performance. He's a good teacher. Whatever he's doing in his collar sure ain't working.

as jeff would say: it depends. there's no formula. i look at the technicals, option cost, am i expecting a quick more or slow grind...yes i had MNST too. stay with it, i rolled my Jun 65 Calls down to June 55. the miss was due to international orders being pushed out. they're killing it.

you said you follow IBD. just watch the $$ flow (price action and volume). look for technical set-ups and bullish or bearish fundamental stories. I trade smaller $ amounts if it's an earnings play. I like diagonals thru earnings, selling front month options to take advantage of the higher IV and...

he raised $$ from students and opened a fund in april 2015. i was a charter investor. ask them about it. no need to mention my name, just ask for the prospectus and returns. i'd love to know what you're told. frankly, i can't understand why he takes losses on positions when i've seen and heard...

karen is terrific. so is charan and ken bailey was terrific too.i trade directionally using straight calls, puts, calendars and diagonals. theoretically you can adjust the collar. trying to do it when you have 1000 shares of AAPL is another story. buying protective puts each time there's...

Furthermore, the Collar trade is not the be-all end-all. Gregs fund has lost $$ in a roaring bull market in a long-only fund utilizing the "collar trade"

That's pretty much what I said about my experience with OA. Instructors care and the program will give you all the necessary knowledge to trade. That being said, I totally agree about the trading aspect. The trades they are putting on for 1 or 3 or 5 contracts which they then watch carefully...

thanks, good luck.

I didn't say regulated. I said he had a fund. I answered this thread to give firsthand experience w/OA, pro and con. Do what works for you. Happy trading!

they teach you about options, options strategies, greeks, and fundamentals. if it's not worth the $$ to you or you prefer to read a book or can find better or cheaper elsewhere good. greg knows his stuff about options. he has a fund. call and ask him. good luck.

I agree with all you say. I made the investment in the education and it was well worth the foundation and options knowledge I gained. I've also read a dozen books or so. That's me. I pointed out the weaknesses and shortcomings. I invested over $200K in my kids educations and wonder if they got...

so be it. i'm adding what i know, not looking to argue.
