It's not always about selling. It's more about just how much easier it is to be successful on the internet vs not on the internet. Hence the reason internet investors are more likely to tell readers about their past successful trades, rather than share them in "real time". Ryanpatrick, on the other hand, not only shares his trades in real time,... he sometimes even shares what he is planning to do, even before he does it. He is not your typical internet investor. Hence, he probably doesn't have a 98% success rate.
I wish that were true for me mr double. I used $400 in a micro forex account to test it out, and failed! Where forex is your comfort zone, options is my comfort zone. And if I was 98% successful, I'd have way more profits than what I show right now. I'd say my trades are more of a 50-60% win rate. And I wonder if anyone knows how to ban diaoptions from the thread? He keeps saying its dead, but still prefers to post comments on here.....lol. .
In truthness, I started the thread to keep me in check, because I always wonder off with too many trades about 2-3 months into a zone where my confidence can jump too high. I'm starting to feel that already....but that's where this thread I keep will keep telling me that I only have a small profit to show so far.
We all failed at least once before. I failed too on the second time around thinking I could pick up where I left. Moving forward is what it's all about though. Bought to close PVH 95s at $2.50 (yes, at the highest point for the day so far). I'm going to see how PVH trades beyond the 52-week highs this week and work from there. With the market still in an uptrend fashion, I'm backing off JOSB just in case. I'm going to play it safe and take a shot at TFM using TFM Sep 60/65 call spread for about $2.50 (a little too expensive than usual, but rather safe there).
Failed second time around. I can't count the times I've failed. Getting in sync with the market is a tricky thing for me. When it's good, it's good, but otherwise the other is more often.
