    Read about 'max pain' It is as relevant to futures expirations as it is with equity options.

    You do realize it's the weakest of the group. Not one I would hitch my wagon too. If you're in it you may want to start thinking of a crutch trade hedge or God help you the martingale.

    options . . . very hard to make money

    I read about five pages deep. You will not find a way to consistently make money on options at Amazon. By the time the sheep know it, it's over. There is simply no other way to utilize a NON PREDICTIVE high probability system of removing credit from the market than options. I consistently make...

    Wealthy Option Traders

    I'm not going to give you setups or offer proof, but I might give you some food for thought. I've dropped over 6k tickets year to date, twice that in 09, on various proprietary option models. From time to time I find very strange things that should not exist, but they do. At one point...

    I'm glad you disagree. The more like you that do the better off I'll be. "non sequitor" You do mean 'sequitur' right? If your trading uses the same attention to detail as your post you may want to find a decent broker before you're broke. :cool:

    There is a gigantic difference. Institutions sell and retail buys. You should read up on 'max pain' The very BEST odds on a buy is 50% with a degrading theta. Selling can have 99% probs with time value decay on your side. The market can do three things, go up, down or sideways. You have two of...

    I risk arb options that are deep out of the money against a select basket of stocks. I do not enter a trade unless it has an 85% probability of the desired outcome. As in any probability game it's about getting as much sample size as possible. The larger the sample the more validity the...

    Professional grade Charting software - how to find good retail charting software

    When I was prop trading I used ESignal Pro for analytics and Goldman Sachs Redi for placing orders. I also used proprietary Excel spreads fed by DDE through Redi Worked GREAT. Now I work for a wire-house and use ThomsonOne, or a very close firm customized version of it. Both are about...

    Emotional traits of the best traders

    I was all of the above during my two years prop trading. My wife got pregnant and that was the end of prop trading as I needed stability and benefits. I went retail with the super regional (now just a fleeting thought of pink mist) and started cold calling me arse off. Just ended year two and...

    Series 7 and a Financial Mindset

    Series 7 Easy ?????? Hmmm well I just took it last Friday ... "i recommend the "dearborn's series 7 drill and practice" product" I cannot agree more. I got an 85% using the same. I made passing this test the center of my universe for the last month. I mean from the moment I got up to...

    Don's Openings and More for 2006

    I am new to OPG orders and have read every post on this thread. I am using a 'new' version of some available software that is rather complex and seems like it is somewhat in a Bata testing phase, but that's OK as my trades at this point are small for information. Offer: I am a stickler for...
