Hi, I've recently had it confirmed that a broker is offering the ability to write options against CFD positions. It is definitely available on US stock CFD's but I'm not sure about other markets. Unfortunately I don't know which broker is offering this! Anyone heard anything about which...

All Rhetoric aside, you really are a dickhead Clubber.

Well, you did break it...

Sorry, an unhelpful post from me. What I meant to say was that you have roughly equal reversal points long and short. But atm the trend is down. Thus, make long reversal point further away. What do you think?

Stops a bit tight at present?

Interesting. Keep going. What is the largest draw down as % of equity you have had with this approach?

On crack?

Flog it off for about $15

I'm in for this ride

All of the methods you mention can work but only in skilled hands. There are many ways to skin a cat - find yours. I do have to agree with the other posters though that averaging down in the early stages of your career will almost certainly be fatal. bagg

A very thoughtful post Makloda. However, you don't address the issue of "printing money" which I do believe will be attempted on a big scale. Surely this has to produce inflation? Appreciate your thoughts.

I agree, people will look if you have something genuine to show them. However, the real trick is letting them look but protecting your intellectual property. Have you thought about this?

Ok I'll bite. I presume you've discovered a way to trade that is profitable for you over time. Well done! I'm interested in broad terms about what you "discovered" and why you say the ES is particularly exploitable. Cheers, bagg

Great post MGJ!
