I don't take insults or personal attacks from Dan, diaoptions, or others personally.
I'm here to learn what i don't understand, and to teach what I do understand.
Whether those 2 learn the hard way or the easy way, is not my concern.
I'm posting for others who may pop into the board as casual readers, and perhaps not realize the "financial" ruin they may be putting themselves at risk for.
I'm currently focussing on spreads, simply because that is the one most traders think is the safest.... when it's actually one of the most risky.

Keep in mind that very few people read these threads. Don't be fooled by the view count since 99.99% are from the same 4 or 5 people.

when some one posts trades that win, and then two jerks like dan and dia try to debate minutia on and on, its just unbelievable, atticus cant even put up 14 wins in a row....

See my post above. You are one of 4 or 5 people that read this thread, the yokes on you. LOL

I know the thread count is meaningless.
But if I'm any example, I read the board for years before joining in.
Given that the board is available world wide, I think it's reasonable to assume there are at a minimum dozens that read, but don't post.

While still doing well, some of those 14 are still active. So I'm not putting them in the win column just yet.
And just for a bit of "context", to compare one trader with another, you'd have to compare % return and other criteria as well.
Most of my trades return in the area of 13 - 16%.
I could triple the number of my trades and the % of wins, by simply seeking a much lower % return.
Others may initiate fewer trades, but earn a much higher % return on them.

Glad to see you posting again.
But why do you say trade ATM or don't trade?
Isn't one of the joys and advantages of trading via options, that we can decide whether we want to select prices ATM, OTM or even ITM?
Isn't it an advantage to have the ability to begin "managing our risk", even prior to initiating the trade,... depending on our outlook for the stock, our % return goals, our risk/reward tolerances, ect.....

Just that I don't offer leverage. I'd rather reduce size and trade ATM (not outside 30D) then gear-up in OTM. In American KOs you have to trade OTM, but in vanillas I believe you're always best served to trade ATM unless you're in very deep durations.

So are you saying you prefer doing things like buying calls ATM?
