Stop . . . I predict the market will go up today . . . at some point. Do you really think being right is more important than being profitable?
As i wrote before most important are the exits. But with this method it is possible to find high probability entries with a tight stop. Exactly how far the market will move i don´t know of course and that´s up to experience etc.
Considering your initial short call on Feb. 2nd, 2011, the pullback yesterday didn't yet cover the loss.
Depends on your stop. One option was up 90% as well so it´s up to where the trader wants to sell. Never let a winner become a loser. I have just traded the last one with my real account.
No, sorry if that is the way I came across, that isn't what I meant. I was trying to make the point about open ended calls. If you are going to post a trade, call an entry and an exit, win loose or draw.
You see, the difference between you and I is, that I can predict the market (not all the time, of course) and you can't: You posted this right after my calling of a bottom yesterday at 1295 ES. Right now ES is at 1312+, so one good call for me, another crap for Gann....
I have seen your "predictions". I can say at what precise level the market will have reactions. Small or larger most likely. As you se i picked the top within a few points that lasted for a a month. Btw i have found some market inefficiency in certain options pricing. Does not occur often but waiting to take advantage of it.
