I would answer you if it would ease your worry but that has nothing to do with this book. I can confirm your question and than what. Am I Carl Ichan? No. Do I have vast knowledge about options? No. If you want you can check this link where I post my weekly updates. But in the end who cares am I profitable or not. Trading is like fishing. People will take pictures when they catch really big fish, but they wont admit that the rest of the time is just so boring.

Not sure what you talk about.
My story is more straight forward, I have a profitable approach in trading. A few years ago there was a so call "rich business man" approach me, he mentioned he is interest to let me to invest his money and share the profit, he then monitored my performance for nearly a month. I showed him my trades without explain to him why I enter/exit those trades. After he saw my account was up by approximate 8%, he mentioned instead of letting me invest his money, he would rather "buy" my strategy in the mid range of 6 figures. My answer is No.
I suspect he may not be able to learn my strategy even I want to teach him step by step, as I develop my current trading approach from many years of experience, both in the top institute with top traders, countless of screen time and sleepless night, develop the "relationship" with the market and price movement, remove the bad trading habits one by one, and finally all of this come together. There is no simple profitable system or shortcut to my opinion, you have to work hard to gain this. A profitable approach is a method that you will have positive expectancy in ANY markets, it is true you may loss a bit here and there from time to time such as you break you rule, fat finger and getting greedy, but ultimately with a profitable trading approach you will recover your loss and profit in long term.
A real fisherman will not take pic for the fishes he catch, the reason is he will not feel excitement on the catch as he know he will catch more in future. The only one that take pic for this very best moment are the salesman that want to sell something as they know they may not be able to catch another big fish again in future.
Do I bother to write a book for $4.99 or crate some BS chat room or trading website to earn some extra income with advertisement ? The answer is NO.
