    Do most option writers hedge thier writes, or do you just take a chance?

    I think pros who trade for a living and rely on their own PNL will hedge. Hedging increases buying power. This can be a very significant reason to hedge. 85% of options expire worthless, but you can get closed out of a position just from bad marks if you dont have the funds to sustain a...

    looking for a partner

    great ideas TSgann, thank you. Again, I am not looking for someone to give me cash to trade. I would be open to any mixture of scenarios. eg. To begin with, and develop trust. Provide signals, perhaps that the potential partner could ask questions about, see how it works in real...

    what do you have to gain from attacking me? what is so bad about me wanting a partner to do this with? people do these kinds of deals all the time where one person comes to the table with money, and the other with something intangible. I am not trying to beg money here, I am looking...

    looking for a partner

    well, its the low risk to reward of 1/4 and its the high win to loss ratio. while backtesting with a software like tradestation would be optimal for showing performance stats, it is not possible with chart patterns. so, I used the computer in my head to backtest manually by looking at the...

    Pull back or reversal?

    .... If instead you play flags (consolidation during an uptrend), you can buy at the support, and sell 66% at the resistance, and hold 33% for a breakout.

    ? You dont like my response to surfer? I say room for drawdown only because of the PDT rule. If I have options positions, and trading equities, it is only sensible to not be under capitalized.

    Good question surfer. I'd say $50,000. This way the equities can be traded intraday, futures can be traded when the setups occurr. Options can be held on longer term plays, and there is room for drawdown as well.

    The Million $$$ Quest 2006

    I went to http://www.millennium-traders.com/performance/stp.aspx to read about their swing trade performance. Funny thing was, they gave exits as the high or low for the week. Basically they dont give exits, they just calculated how much money you could have made in hindsight if you exited...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    To spot an uptrend, I look for a breakout after seeing 2 pull backs, and 1 higher high. So essentially I want to get long as price takes out first higher high.

    Retiring from trading

    It totally depends what you want. Or to say it more directly, yours is a stupid question since no one can tell you what you want. That said, When I was in Tahoe, I spent 1500 a month or 18000 a year. In hawaii I spend < 300 a mo or < 3600 a year. RETIRED is such a weird word.
