Why would someone criticize your trading when there's no way to prove this is from your account or not from your account. Simply, if you posted that here to bait for an argument instead of getting started on home remodeling...I think that's very strange on your part. Therefore, go have some fun with your home with those recent profits instead of baiting this forum for criticism about your trading.
After paying taxes on your short-term capital gains you'll barely have enough left to remodel a bathroom.
How about an explanation for why you want to get out, and also explain why you are reinvesting your gains into a liability such as a house.
Ooops...looks like I missed his point. Maybe he's asking for criticism about reinvesting into the house instead of doing something else with the money. Edit - I just researched his recent post history. He's just testing some new strategies. Hopefully he'll keep posting monthly updates about the results and which of those new strategies he was using instead of just one month of info without any other info to go with it.
This "I'm out for now" attitude is something I've felt after doubling my money at the Black Jack table. I don't see a place for it in financial markets.
Interesting trading pattern. No spreads, just straight calls and puts. Most trades opened 1-2 days before expiration. Most trades held 0-1 days (about half were 1 day).
