haha yeah, well i havent blown up my account yet. been playing with the same money for 8 years. just started options about 1.5 years ago.Why do you call yourself badlucktrades...that's like wishing death upon yourself...can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In trading, and in life for that matter, you kind of need all the good luck and positive vibes you can get and muster.
Either I'm retarded or this is a pretty solid strategy

I don't find your site too user friendly.
There isn't a feature (from what I've seen) to be short stock, long stock, short/long options. If there is, its not really clear.
sure there is) may be some day i'll create a detailed manual..
can you show me?
to start from something, please have a closer look at my last post on the mentioned thread. especially notice the second pic, it shows some strategy which consists from: long 1 put (115 strike, Sep 18 expiration), short 1 put (116 strike, Sep 25 expiration) and long 5 stock (yes, that's odd lot). may be you didn't notice the "plus" button to add a leg?
Yes I've used it. I found problems with the following. Don't take this offensively, just giving you some insight into what I found not user friendly.
1) I think you should rename "volume" to position size or something that signifies contract/shares. volume means something else to most people.
2 )I think you should restrict the zooming in or out of the graph.
3) I think you should make the profit/loss side numbers bigger
4) maybe colour code the profit areas?
