i dont get why this thread bothers you.
It doesn't, in the same way abject stupidity doesn't bother me. Just agreeing with someone I know.
Does that bother you?

no
not really. im perfectly fine admitting what i dont know and trying to clarify what i have been reading. your outward negativity just means that youre probably a lonely bitter person who isnt having the expected success in the market that you hoped for. why else would you be part of a forum like this?
I love your argument.
Why else would YOU be a member of a forum like this?
I could point out how idiotic your original post was, but that would be a waste of time, so let's just stick to my question.

Don't project ignorance. It's happened here since time immemorial (or since '98). A new guy comes on here and states something outlandishly-ignorant like, "condors are the best!" Then someone responds and the OP immediately takes offense and responds with the "failed trader" BS. Try not to be so bloody predictable. The question implied by this thread, is loaded. You shouldn't expect people to fawn.
Condors are fine. Ask yourself who would anyone take the other side of the iron (long natural) if it's the best position. Spreads and combos are tools. It's a good position if implied vol is over realized and you're inside the body. Flies are a better RR if you pin. Not so much when you sell distribution in an iron and price trades outside the wings. Then it's the best? Or the worst?

i think you negative neddies are over reading into my post. i asked a question, stated my reasoning, and asked for opinions.
im more than open to learning, but if you respond with negativity or implication of it, youll be on the receiving end as well.
you can call me stupid for not knowing but w.e its the internet.

to learn. clearly, im not getting the success i need and so i wanted to come on here and see what others are doing.
learn
Why don't you read a bit and test out stuff before asking those sort of questions? It would truly help you.
Basic exercise in logic. If it is pointless having a view on direction of the market, equally you have to assume that the market will stay within the bounds of profitability of your spread.
Isn't that the same as having a view on direction, ie lack of it?
