Falcon, what are you using? You probably mentioned it many pages back . . .

Anyone know if Thinkorswim paperMoney is anything like real trading?

Looks like HoCo has left the building... he's over at "What is this option selling hedge fund's edge?" thread.

I follow many threads and now try to limit my posts to minimize my susceptibility to baiting.

Are you going to post every trade taken since the beginning of the year with your method or not really ?.

Did you read my trading posts starting with the beginning of the thread? Are there insufficient examples to understand my trading strategy?

I will consider posting EVERY trade since the beginning of this year if I can understand what benefit is to be derived beyond what I have already posted.

It will make apparent if your method is a-viable as is, b-viable with modifications, or c-utterly useless. To a few readers at least.

It will also enhance your credibility some, IMHO.
