I guess there was no secret sauce by @J_Smith ? In his defense, he did say he was never going to give it to you. But perhaps you figured out that with him talking in circles and never quite being direct enough with any answer, you saw that you were going around in circles? Last time he tried to get others to trade options. Perhaps not a bad idea given limited funding, but takes you in a whole different direction.
At any rate, I think that if anyone offers to help, the very first thing they should do is show you what they are doing. If they cannot produce examples of their own trading, why are they qualified to teach? Can they even teach? Heck, can they even trade?
Options trading is still valid, as I mentioned how, and why, but will not do so again, as lazy people will have to get off their fat arses if they want to read any worthwhile posts.
As for showing my trades, will never happen, as the few clever guys will see how I do it, just by seeing the trade confirmations, as, price reveals all - did you really think I am that stupid, and I am not talking about you seeing how I do it
