    Yeah, see how it works? Sometimes they festoon you, and sometimes they spank you. I got another spanking yesterday. Whoospie! But it is all for the good of the empire.

    Yes. I erred based on the TOS. And I have been given a lot of slack recently. But that is what is cool about ET. The powers that be are human, and use subjective judgment. I like that.

    Nope, that’s my son

    Wow, very kind, thankyou

    Hilarious

    Couldn’t agree more … wise words

    Looking for the humour here but not quite getting it

    Not so much, as there’s a huge variance in these metrics depending on strategy type, so I’m normally more focused on some measure of risk adjusted returns

    My long term Sharpe normally resides somewhere between 1 and 1.5, but that’s been helped a lot due to some very good performance over the last 4-5 years. In fact I’d be happy with anything over about 0.7. That said I have some serious reservations about using Sharpe as a performance measure and I’m not aware of the CAROR measure that you refer to.

    I don’t use charts for trading and not so sure how a few charts with entries and exits helps influence your decision to keep reading

    I understand and can appreciate these comments. Agree that ET can be an excellent forum for sharing ideas. I guess I’m looking to offer something a little different over a longer period of time and feel that I can offer more assistance via a series of one-on-one conversations but I do like your analogy of corralling new traders, implying that I’m herding lambs to the slaughter :sneaky:

    However I can assure you that there is no such nefarious intent on my part. As mentioned earlier this is a genuine offer to help in a manner that seems to be appreciated judging by the number of pm’s I’ve already received.

    But you’re right, I think people need to tread carefully, and consider with caution any advice received.

    By seeing a sample of trades, both winners and losers, along with what happened to price between the entry and exit, tells you very much about the trader. Your intro about yourself sounded very nice, but its all just words unfortunately. Its important to know what kind of a trader you are first before anyone invests any time into learning what you do.

    Your post tells me that you need to learn a lot more about options before putting money on the line. Unless you have a killer strategy or crystal ball, you will be looking at consistent losses buying puts. Or shorting the underlying. If you MUST proceed, trade single contracts to learn for yourself why it is generally a very weak strategy.
