Well, most traders go through a period early on of being humbled by losses. Maybe after you've bled down your trading account you'll come back a little more humble, a little wiser, and a little more willing to entertain the possibility that we've all been where you are now and we were genuinely...

That's great, good for you ! Hey by the way, I have this square block that I'm trying to jam into a round hole, got any ideas for me?

OP, you can answer most of your own questions by simply applying some rationale to the following two concepts: 1) There are a lot of smart traders out there 2) There is always two sides to a trade Just using those two, you should start to see the obvious truth. There is no easy trade, or...

"20K would give me enough to make say 10K per month and withdraw back to 20K each month, $50 per pt on Dax will be enough to live off I'm sure" Anybody who would say something like this, or even anybody who would read it and not immediately fall off their chair laughing should cash out their...

"I do feel embarrassed because I was silly enough to give you a second chance. Since you forgot to give us a link, you failed the challenge and entered my ignore." Pekelo, you are seriously the dumbest mofo on the planet. If you have ever made a single trade in your life i'd be shocked, and...

Are you fucking kidding me right now? You think you're going to look like any less of a newbie by making somebody else get you a time stamp in the video you were supposed to have actually WATCHED before flaming people about it? Start watching at 41:00 and continue watching until feel like...

2 SD moves happen several times a year. Again, it wouldn't be called a 2 SD move if it didn't happen a statistically significant amount of the time. As in, 10 really REALLY bad days a year, and another 30-40 that although not breaching 2 SD, would also be really REALLY bad days for a lady...

Why do people not understand this simple concept? if you don't get it, honestly, you shouldn't be trading. There's a reason it's called a 2 SD move. It's because IT DOES HAPPEN sometimes. If it doesn't happen it wouldn't be called a 2 SD move. If I had a dime for every time I heard...

Nobody is arguing with the profitability of selling premium. I have no doubt at all that she does very well in her trading, just as the rest of us degenerate premium sellers do year in and year out. For my part, I'm only questing her reported portfolio returns and the fact that they don't jive...

So for about the fifth time in this thread, you are exactly agreeing with me, yet still running your mouth like the newbie trader you are. Scroll the fuck up and read what I just said. For a simple spread and your incredibly simplistic trading style TWS does just fine. For everything else...

There's a lot of question marks with this lady, but one thing we can be absolutely sure of is she isn't trading how she claimed to be trading on the show. Wide wing condors with 50% capital deployment just do not yield 56% portfolio return in 2011. If her results are legit and she actually did...

Of course you can leave them open to speed up the process but that doesn't change what you are essentially doing when adjusting positions and that doesn't make it any less intuitive a process. TOS gives traders the freedom to do whatever they want, it's just more intuitive. You can use a...

She's selling 85% Iron Condors, 56 days out, with no IV management on the entires, very little underlying selection, no stop losses, no adjustments, and no hedging. So? I give her credit for actually earning the money because doing it is of course a lot different then everybody else saying...

I like how she always talks about keeping it simple, but at some point she should listen to her own advice. When she trades at 5% ITM, that means it's going to happen, eventually. People like her talk about how, oh it's such a small chance to go wrong, I can just go all in no stops and...

At some point Drownpruf will realize that he's describing the EXACT same process as what is required in TWS as everybody who uses it already knows. Screaming and flaming with head ready to explode over describing the EXACT same process as I already did in perfect simplicity. This clown thinks...

First off, that's actually how you have to close spreads with TWS. You have to create the opposite trade and execute it. Whether you use price, gamma, or whatever else you want, it's the same exact concept. You're backing out of the trade without the system doing it for you with the simple...

I'm starting to get the impression that's what I'll be doing. There's no doubt it's a cost saver as commissions are quite a bit cheaper then Ameritrade, but man is the analysis software ghetto. And closing trades is absolutely laughable. If you sell an Iron Condor and want to close it out...

I've been using ThinkorSwim for years, but I just moved over to IB a few days ago to give it a shot. So far I gotta say, IB seems pretty horrible. I've been through all the tutorials and I'm just not understanding why it's rated so highly. Before I give up on it and go back to ThinkorSwim...

"but is still very relevant when you're managing a net long fundamental strategy like mine." "These returns have been achieved with generally market neutral strategies" "2011: 87.2% return. 2012 YTD: 36% return." "Also I don't know where you get 50% from, I've been compounding over...

Why do I have the feeling I'm the only voice of reason here? Again, there is absolutely nothing sell-able to the public for a fund that claims to make 100% annual returns with low risk. Those guys are a dime a dozen, seriously. If you can find somebody who especially likes going to Vegas...
