Day trading help

I beg to disagree.

It is not their methods that you need, it is the basic understanding of the market, the mechanics of trades, the equations and basic hypothesis of trading principles, how prices behave, derived from... that are invaluable coming from the professionals. No two people trade alike so you just have to develop your own successful method.

I got the most helps reading between the lines of the posts by professionals here. For example the risks of negative delta/gamma selling OTM, the importance of convexity..... Hang around and you will learn a lot more, or if you are a pro, you can enlighten us.

Best to you.

Glad you've gotten something out of it. I've been reading this board since 2006. I've rarely seen much from anyone except fighting. You may find a nugget in between the lines, but you will never get help on an individual basis from someone that actually knows what they're doing. I have learned what not to do, so I guess I have gained something.

Wow. Just came back from vacation there in March of this year. I don't understand why anyone needs a car there. I could get around easily without a car and I could get a very decent meal for < U$2.00 at any one of the food courts around town.

Haven't you read posts by Maverick74, Sig, sle, JackRab, comagnum, Martinghoul, newwurdmn ....among others? Sometimes they argued but often they posts some very helpful insights about trading and options...

Having a car is a luxury over here. A Beemer for example.

Trading is not easy at all. Systems that seem to work when back tested or paper traded. Good luck to you.

I agree with you here. I don't think it is a wise idea to trade with a system that was "referred or recommended" for you. Before you go with a trading system in a live account, it would be better if you could backtest it or optimize it in a demo to see if it works well with you.
