Quote from paysense:

I know that most people have a healthy amount of cynicism built inside - but OddTrader. . .

My statement refers to no re-directions to MY commercial products and services. These were examples pointing to OP (I am not his shill or otherwise promoting OP who is a competitor).

This was for discussion purposes, only. I would hope that most people could see this.

You've been around here a while. It would be great to hear OddTrader contribute.

Worthwhile merits, no?

Quote from OddTrader:

Why would you keep telling people repeatedly that early assignment is OK and hedged? And you yourself sell only European options (that cannot have early assignment)!


There is something wrong with your reading comprehension

1) Yes, early assignment of American style options is not a problem (except for cash settled, OEX).

2) I prefer to trade European style options. BUT NOT BECAUSE o any assignment risk. It's because I prefer to trade those underlying indexes.

There is no contradiction in that.

The statement means 'early assignment' is not a problem - so there is no need to worry about it.

It does not mean you should seek positions that are likely to be assigned early.

Odd,

take a few days off, or a week, or whatever.

thanks for exposing these frauds.

the irony is that when the frauds respond they are simply pushing the Guru thread to the top, exposing their profession even more.

KEEP RESPONDING YOU FRAUDS!!!!!

Odd,

You’re good in my book – job well done Sir

Happy Evening All

It should be noted “the best guru ever” turned out to be a real guru, with his own web site calling out trades – ended up getting tagged by one of his members – then I believe he reregistered under another handle – ce la vie




Now fwiw I have another guru-ism to add – one I’ve seen suggested several times here lately….


Take half a position off once price moves in your direction..

Supposedly doing this helps a newer trader overcome/ counteract the habit of moving a stop too soon (which causes that trader to get stopped out then sit frozen as they watch price move back and scoot off in their original direction)


Nope…… it doesn’t work as advertised – and very possibly could do more harm than good

Yes it is counterintuitive – but then almost everything is counterintuitive when it comes to proper trading.


Please feel free to ignore, discuss, or take me to task…

Respectfully

redneck so true.........take some off......1/2 is okay.........1/3's is more accepted......but move in ur direction is very vague...let's say es moves 1 pt........1/3 out.........2 pts next 1/3.....ride the rest......point targets must be precise and "when seen"......no slippage concerns or commish etc..that is kkiller........exits must be "when seen" at each target.
